Method

Salmon Preparation
Marinade the salmon fillets in the brown sugar, lemon juice, and sea salt. Line  a smoker with tinfoil and manuka wood chips, and brush or spray the wire rack to ensure that the fillets do not stick when cooked. Gently place the fillets on the rack and leave to smoke for 10 minutes.

Coriander & Lime Dressing
Blend all the ingredients together in a food processor or with a hand blender and place in a separate container until needed.

Oriental Salad of Soba Noodles
In a large saucepan bring salted water to the boil. Add the noodles and cook until al dente. In a separate pan, stir-fry the noodles lightly in oil until heated through, season, then tip into a large bowl. Mox through the pickled ginger, snowpea shoots, chilli and spring onion, then pour over the Coriander and Lime Dressing. Reserve the sesame seeds as a garnish. 

Side Dish
Thinly slice the base off each cherry tomato so they sit firmly and don't wobble on the plate. Remove the tops and scoop out and discard the seeds. Place ricotta, seasoning, ground cumin, and chopped chives in a small bowl and mix well. Place the ricotta filling into a piping bag and gently pipe it into the tomato cavities. Place a sprig of the chive garnish on top of the ricotta filling.

Balsamic Reduction
Place the balsamic vinegar in a small pan. Simmer until reduced by half and syrupy in consistency.

Garnishes
Melt the butter in a pan and saute the prawns until they start to turn pink. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and set aside. Deep-fry the extra soba noodles until crisp and then drain on absorbent paper.

To Plate
Twirl the soba noodle salad into four circular nests and place each just off centre on the plates, garnishing with the sesame seeds. Down one side of each plate, next to the soba nests, create a trellis pattern by drizzling on the balsamic reduction. Place three cherry tomatoes on the balsamic trellis. Next, place a salmon fillet on top of each soba nest lightly sprinkled with some Prenzel's Manuka Sea Salt and black sesame seeds. Pierce each sauteed prawn with a deep-fried soba noodle and skewer it to the salmon. Finally, garnish with a sprig of chervil.
