Cook the Salmon:
Start by heating a skillet over medium heat and drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil. Once the pan is hot, place the salmon fillets and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden and slightly crispy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside. -
Prepare the Ricotta Foam:
In a separate bowl, sift the ricotta using a spatula and a fine sieve. Add the ground turmeric and a pinch of salt to the ricotta and mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined. Next, transfer the ricotta mixture into a siphon, seal the cap, and season with a bit more salt and pepper. -
Finish the Salmon:
With the salmon fillets cooked, pour the thyme honey into the pan and let it simmer for a minute or two, allowing the honey to glaze the salmon beautifully. Then, deglaze the pan with a ladle of water, stirring to incorporate any flavorful bits left from the salmon. Allow the sauce to reduce slightly. -
Assemble the Dish:
On each plate, arrange a few fresh lamb’s lettuce leaves as a bed for the salmon. Place the salmon fillets on top of the greens, then drizzle the honey glaze over the top. Finally, using the siphon, add a dollop of ricotta foam beside the salmon to elevate the dish with a creamy texture. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve your honey-glazed salmon with a light and aromatic ricotta foam, making for an elegant yet flavorful dish that’s perfect for any occasion.
Tips:
- You can experiment with different types of honey for varying sweetness and flavors.
- If you donβt have a siphon, you can use a whisk to whip the ricotta mixture with cream until it reaches a fluffy consistency.
- The lambβs lettuce adds a fresh and slightly bitter contrast to the rich salmon and creamy ricotta foam.
Enjoy this delicious and sophisticated honey-glazed salmon, a perfect blend of savory, sweet, and creamy textures!
