Ingredients

3tbsp white wine vinegar

100ml Prosecco

1tsp caster sugar

4 whole black peppercorns

1 shallot, peeled and thinly sliced

2 radishes, thinly sliced

¼ cucumber, thinly sliced

2 x 120g packs Extra Special Mild & Delicate Scottish Smoked Salmon

100ml whipping cream

1tbsp creamed horseradish

20g watercress sprigs, plus extra to serve

1tbsp orange juice

1tsp olive oil

½tsp Dijon mustard

1tbsp pomegranate seeds

Method

1
Put the vinegar, Prosecco, sugar and peppercorns into a small pan over a medium setting. As soon as it reaches a simmer, take it off the heat. Stir until all the sugar dissolves, then add the shallot, radishes and cucumber, ensuring they are covered. Set aside to pickle for 15 mins.
2
Meanwhile, arrange the smoked salmon on a serving platter, laying the slices flat so that they cover as much of the surface as possible.
3
Whisk the whipping cream to soft peaks and stir through the horseradish. Season with black pepper, then spoon dollops over the salmon at regular intervals.
4
Reserving the pickling liquor, strain the pickled veg and arrange over the salmon. Sprinkle the watercress sprigs over the plate.
5
Just before serving, make the dressing. Put 1tbsp of the reserved pickling liquor and the orange juice into a small bowl, then whisk in the oil, Dijon mustard and a grind of black pepper. Add the pomegranate seeds and drizzle over the salad.
6
Serve the salad with the extra watercress on the side.
