The Royal Treatment: King Ora Salmon
When it comes to salmon, not all are created equal. We source our King Ora Salmon from the pristine waters of New Zealand. Why King Ora? Because it’s widely regard as the finest salmon in the world, and for good reason. These majestic fish are sustainably farm in the fast-flowing, crystal-clear waters of the Marlborough Sounds, an environment that mimics their natural wild habitat. This unique upbringing results in salmon with an unparalleled quality – a rich, buttery texture, a vibrant colour, and a delicate, clean flavour that is simply sublime.
The higher fat content of King Ora Salmon, often referred to as its marbling, is what gives it that melt-in-your-mouth sensation. It’s pack with beneficial Omega-3 fatty acids, making it not only a delicious choice but a healthy one too. At BLOWFISH, we believe in letting the quality of the produce speak for itself, and with King Ora Salmon, it has a truly magnificent story to tell.
A Refreshing Counterpoint: Chicory + Sorrel
To ensure every mouthful is a delight, we’ve introduced the crisp, slightly bitter notes of fresh chicory and the bright, zesty tang of sorrel. This clever addition provides a refreshing counterpoint to the richness of the salmon and the truffle crème fraiche. The chicory offers a delightful crunch and a subtle bitterness that cleanses the palate, preparing it for the next perfect bite.
Sorrel, with its unique lemony, almost tart flavour, adds a vibrant burst of freshness that cuts through the richness and lifts the entire dish. These greens aren’t just a garnish; they’re an integral part of the flavour profile. Demonstrating our commitment to creating dishes that are both balance and exciting. And of course, for those with dietary considerations, you’ll be please to know this exquisite creation is entirely gluten-free.
