Ingredients:

1 cup

Ghee

Directions:

1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper

2

Line up 3 strips of salmon, making sure they overlap at least 1/2-inch at the ends

3

Starting from one end, roll the salmon into a pinwheel and set aside

4

Line another 3 pieces up the same way

5

Take the first pinwheel, and starting from one end of the salmon strip, roll it up again

6

Repeat this step 2 more times, then put the salmon flower on the prepared baking sheet

7

With the remaining salmon, gently form more petals by wrapping them around the perimeter of the salmon flower on the baking sheet

8

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate

9

Peel the potatoes and grate them on the largest holes of a box grater

10

Put into a colander and rinse well with cold water until the water runs clear and the starch is gone

11

Squeeze the potatoes dry a handful at a time, and transfer to a medium bowl

12

Heat half the ghee in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering

13

Add the potatoes, and using a spatula, press them firmly into the pan so that they are evenly spread out

14

Cook undisturbed until dark golden, about 10 minutes

15

Cover with a lid that is larger than the skillet and carefully invert the skillet so that the potato pancake sits on the lid, golden-side up

16

Add the remaining ghee to the skillet and heat until shimmering

17

Slide the potato pancake, golden-side up, back into the skillet and continue to cook until golden and cooked through, another 10 minutes

18

Slide the potato pancake onto a serving plate and sprinkle with the chives

19

Using a spatula, transfer the salmon flower to the middle of the potato pancake and serve with the creme fraiche, lemon wedges, capers and onions on the side
