Vodka Cured Salmon with Citrus
This recipe marries two of my favourite ingredients; raw salmon and vodka! I found it in a Scandinavian cookbook that my mother owns and was immediately intrigued. It has since become one of my favourite light and healthy appetizers, naturally receiving a tweak or two.
