Warm salmon escabeche

Frank Camorra
Frank Camorra

Escabeche, which is usually served cold, may not be a dish that comes to mind for winter, but when served warm it ticks all the boxes. This version has a fantastic vinegar hit that cuts through the salmon's richness. Left-overs make an excellent sandwich filling. Just flake the salmon fillet into a bowl, chop the cooked vegetables a little, add to the fish, then bind it all with a little garlic mayonnaise. A squeeze of lemon and some chopped parsley finishes it beautifully.
