Recipe

Horseradish ice cream

1. For the horseradish ice cream, combine the milk, sugar and egg yolks in a bowl and cook over a pan of boiling water, whisking continuously, until the mixture has doubled in volume.
2. Remove from the heat and continue to whisk until cool. Fold in the creme fraiche and horseradish, to taste, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
3. Place into an ice cream machine and churn, according to the manufacturer instructions, until frozen.
4. Place in the freezer until needed.

To assemble

1. Place the hot smoked salmon into the rye bread, for the best effect make sure that both the salmon & rye bread are squared off to the same size so they look uniform.
2. Lightly season the top of the salmon with flaky sea salt, then place the horseradish ice cream back firmly on top of the salmon.
3. Garnish with watercress tips & possibly some crispy salmon skin & serve immediately.
