Helena Puolakka from Skylon Restaurant cooks a roast wild salmon with sweet and sour aubergine and hazelnut salad for Taste of London

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 4 pieces wild salmon

For the sweet and sour aubergine

  • 100g onions, finely chopped
  • 300g aubergines, diced
  • 30g caster sugar
  • 50ml sherry vinegar
  • 1 small tin whole plum tomatoes
  • 1 lemon, juice
  • Maldon salt
  • white pepper from mill

For the hazelnut salad

  • 100g corn salad (mache)
  • 40g hazelnuts, toasted
  • 20ml hazelnut oil
  • Maldon salt

Method: How to make roast salmon with aubergines and salad

1. Season the salmon with salt. Roast with olive oil in a medium oven 3-4 minutes then turn over and repeat for another 3-4 minutes. Ideally it should be served pink. If the cooking temperature is too high the salmon will cook too fast and dry out.

To prepare the sour aubergine

1. Reduce sugar, vinegar and onions to a light caramel.

2. Add tomato juice then reduce by half. Sauté the aubergines and add to the reduction, cook to the right consistency. Finish with lemon juice.

To prepare the hazelnut salad

1. Toast the hazelnuts in the oven at 175°C until golden. When cooled down crush them. Serve the salmon on a bed of aubergine relish and prepare a salad with corn lettuce, toasted and crushed hazelnuts and hazelnut oil.
