Ingredients:

110 g

Butter

1 tbsp

Dijon Mustard

1 tsp

Sugar

2 tsp

Mirin

1 tsp

Sesame Oil

1 cup

Mache

Directions:

1

To make the vinaigrette, heat the butter in a small skillet over low heat until it browns, 15 to 20 minutes

2

Watch carefully as the butter can burn quickly

3

The butter should have a nutty aroma

4

In a blender, combine the passion fruit juice, orange juice, shallots, ginger, mustard, and sugar and blend until pureed

5

While the machine is running, slowly add the browned butter to make an emulsion

6

Be careful, as the mixture may foam up when the hot butter is added

7

Season with salt and pepper and set aside

8

The vinaigrette should be served slightly warm

9

Divide the rice into the 4 lightly greased metal ring molds

10

Press the rice firmly into the molds to form cakes

11

Sprinkle the bottom of the cakes with the ground nori and the toasted sesame seeds

12

Prepare a skillet coated with the canola oil over medium heat

13

With the rice still in the mold, place the mold in the skillet

14

Sear the rice cakes on the bottom until they are brown and very crispy

15

Set the cakes aside without removing the ring molds

16

In a non-reactive bowl, combine the salmon, tomatoes, scallions, lime juice, hot pepper sauce, and canola oil

17

Season to taste with the sea salt and pepper

18

The salmon should be well seasoned, and be prepared no longer than 15 minutes before serving

19

In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mirin, sesame oil, and canola oil

20

Season with salt and pepper

21

Just before serving, drizzle some of the vinaigrette over the mache and toss gently

22

Fill a small heavy pot one-third full with the oil and heat to 300 degrees

23

Add the taro root to the oil and fry until golden brown and crispy

24

Remove the taro with a large-mesh spoon and drain on paper towels

25

Season with the salt, to taste, while hot

26

PLATING: Spoon equal amounts of the salmon mixture onto each rice cake

27

Place each mold in the center of a serving plate and gently remove the ring mold

28

Drizzle the warm vinaigrette around each rice cake and sprinkle with ground nori and toasted sesame seeds

29

Garnish the top of the salmon with the dressed mache and the crispy taro strings

30
