Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Smoked wild Irish salmon
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 250 ml Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Chives
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 100 grams Crème fraîche
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 sprigs Fresh dill (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs until well combined. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to create a smooth batter.
Chop the chives finely and fold them into the batter. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes while you prepare your cooking station.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the surface. Once the butter is melted and hot, pour in about 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake to make small, evenly sized pancakes.
Cook the pancakes for approximately 2 minutes on the first side, until bubbly and the edges begin to set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.
While the pancakes are cooking, slice the smoked wild Irish salmon into thin strips and prepare a simple garnish by zesting and juicing the lemon.
To assemble the dish, place 2-3 chive pancakes on each plate. Top with a dollop of crème fraîche, a few slices of smoked salmon, and a sprinkle of lemon zest. Optionally, garnish with a sprig of fresh dill.
Serve immediately, with additional lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
