La Curiosa brings a new kind of ease to smoked salmon: a beautifully prepared conserva packed in olive oil and ready whenever the moment calls for an aperitivo. Made with Norwegian salmon, it has a tender texture and a gentle smoke that sits comfortably beside the richness of the oil. The 115 g tin is just the right scale for an intimate tapas board or a refined lunch for one or two.
Serve the salmon at room temperature, straight from the tin, with good bread and a wedge of lemon. On a toasted slice, add a little crème fraîche, a few capers and chopped dill for a classic contrast of cream, salt and herbs. It is equally appealing folded into a warm potato salad, laid over a bowl of lentils, or served with cucumber ribbons and crisp radishes. Add the fish near the end of any warm preparation to preserve its soft texture.
Serving & pairing
A dry Albariño or sparkling Cava brings welcome lift to the smoky, oily richness. For an aperitivo, pour a dry fino Sherry and set out salted almonds and olives. If you are building a seafood tasting, let this salmon sit beside a bright, acidic conserva and keep the accompaniments restrained so every tin has its own moment.
