Start the salmon 24 hour in advance by blending the Old Bay Seasoning, sugar, and lemon zest. Then rub the fillet with this cure mixture. Make sure to aggressively cover the salmon and leave covered in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
After the salmon has firmed up, rinse off the spices and medium dice the salmon.
Lovage Crème Fraiche
Mix the heavy cream and cultured butter milk. Leave the mixture in a warm place to thicken and develop deep flavour. When the mixture has thickened, mix in the lovage puree and reserve.
Acadian Style Potato Pancakes
Peel the potato. Rappee the potato on a box grater. Add an egg to the potato puree and tear up the bread. Mix the ingredients well in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
Fry four small pancakes with the potato batter in butter over a medium heat. Season with a OLD BAY Seasoning to finish.
For Serving
Place pancakes on four plates and spread the cream fraiche over each one. Top with salmon.
