The Origin of Smoked Salmon
Smoked salmon has its roots in the culinary traditions of various cultures, particularly those of Northern Europe. Historically, smoking was used as a method to preserve fish, especially in regions where refrigeration was unavailable. Over time, this technique has evolved into a culinary practice, celebrated for its ability to impart a unique, smoky flavor to the salmon. The home-made smoked salmon at Ici et Là is a nod to this tradition, combining age-old methods with modern culinary techniques.
Icietla - Tasting Notes
Subtle Smokiness, Rich Flavor
The Home-made Smoked Salmon at Ici et Là is a delicate balance of flavors and textures. The salmon, known for its rich, buttery taste, is gently smoked to retain its moisture and tenderness. This results in a subtle smokiness that complements, rather than overpowers, the natural flavor of the fish. The texture is silky and smooth, melting effortlessly in the mouth. Each slice is a testament to the quality of the ingredients and the skill involved in its preparation.
