Cured salmon with Bloody Mary salad

1.For cured salmon, combine salt, sugars, vodka, half the rind, juice, horseradish and 1 tsp each of the seeds, peppercorns and chilli in a bowl. Lay out 2 large pieces of plastic wrap on a work surface, overlapping slightly, spread on half the curing mixture in the same shape as the salmon, then place salmon on top, skin-side down. Spread remaining curing mixture over salmon, enclose tightly with plastic wrap, then wrap in another layer of plastic wrap to help prevent leaking. Place in a non-reactive tray and refrigerate to cure for 2 days, turning occasionally. Wipe off curing mixture, pat dry with paper towels, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until required (up to 3 days). Just before serving, place salmon flesh-side up on an ovenproof tray and scorch with a blowtorch or sear quickly on a hot barbecue. Combine remaining seeds, peppercorns and chilli in a bowl with parsley, remaining lemon rind and 1 tsp salt, and scatter on salmon.

2.For tomato-Tabasco vinaigrette, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add 1 tbsp oil and tomatoes and cook, tossing occasionally, until skins scorch and blister (4-5 minutes). Transfer to a blender with remaining ingredients including oil and blend until smooth, then pass through a fine sieve. Season to taste and adjust acidity if necessary with extra lemon juice or vinegar.

3.Combine tomatoes, celery and celery leaves, and onion in a bowl, season to taste and drizzle with a little vinaigrette, toss to combine and serve alongside cured trout, with extra vinaigrette drizzled over.
