The Unilateral

‘The Unilateral’ is our chosen eat from Salmontini’s diverse variety of salmon dishes (priced at LL28,000). This one takes a bit longer to prepare than the rest (approximately 15 minutes) and calls for fresh cream, wasabi, saffron and squash, and some jasmine rice to the side of the salmon pavé. The fish is grilled skin down and is kept on a low fire for seven minutes to give you that melt-in-your-mouth gratification every time you sink your teeth into it. It’s topped with boiled fresh cream, to which some wasabi is added, giving it a pistachio green tint. The vegetables are sliced and sautéed with butter and the rice – boiled in salted water – is spiced with saffron for that extra hint of fragrance and colour. Two words: top notch.
