Prepare the salmon:

Carefully fillet the salmon and let it marinate for a day.  Rinse the excess salt, dry and proceed to smoke with cypress needles.  Let rest in the refrigerator for a day before pin-boning and cleaning. Portion into 10 ingots of 70 grams from the 700 g half.  Mould into a cylindrical shape with the help of clingfilm, and let rest for another 24 hours in the fridge.

For the raspberry gelatin, combine all the ingredients and bring to a boil.  Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet and split with a whisk.

For the balsamic vinegar bread, begin by removing the crust from the white sandwich bread.  Melt the vegetable carbon into the vinegar and pose the bread inside the mix. Allow to soak and absorb.  Remove the slices and dehydrate overnight. Blitz to reduce to a grainy powder.

 

Finishing and presentation

Poise the salmon ingot in the centre of the plate.  Sprinkle the balsamic bread powder to form a thin line on top of the ingot and add spots of raspberry gelatin atop the black line.  Adorn with sakura sprouts to close the plate.
