Ingredients

500g Asda Half Salmon Side

120ml Beet It Organic Beetroot Juice

30ml gin

Dill sprigs, to serve

100g Maille Dijon Originale Mustard

1tsp wholegrain mustard

20cl extra-dry prosecco miniature

1tsp honey

Very thin, crisp slices of toasted ciabatta, to serve (optional)

Method

1
Check the salmon for small bones and, using a clean pair of tweezers, gently pull out any you find. Skin the fillet.
2
Put the salmon, beetroot juice and gin in a plastic bag, seal and sit it in a small plastic container – the fish needs to be completely covered by the liquid. Chill in the fridge for 12-24 hrs, turning the bag over every 6-8 hrs.
3
Remove the salmon from the bag and gently pat dry with kitchen roll. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with the dill sprigs.
4
Mix the Dijon and wholegrain mustards with the prosecco and honey. Season with ground black pepper to taste.
5
Serve the salmon in very thin slices, with the mustard dressing and ciabatta toast on the side.
