Salmon Canapé with Sesame Brittle
- Combine salmon, fennel, and strawberries in a bowl.
- Add vinegar and oil and mix to combine. Season with crushed peppercorns and mix again.
- Move to plates or serving dish and garnish with fennel fronds and sesame brittle (recipe follows.)
Salted Sesame Brittle
- Prepare a baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat or greased parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium pot, bring sugar and honey to a boil, stirring constantly. When mixture begins to boil, stop stirring and allow it to continue boiling undisturbed until it turns a medium gold color. (Watch very closely, as once the color starts changing it will darken quickly.)
- Remove pot from heat and stir in butter and sesame seeds. Pour onto prepared baking sheet.
- Put a second Silpat or greased parchment on top of hot mixture and use a rolling pin to roll it out as thinly as possible.
- Uncover, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and let it cool completely before breaking into shards.
