8 Medium Individual brioche pastries  
Ounce Sevruga caviar  
In a mixing bowl, combine the salt, dill, zest, black pepper, vodka, and  
sugar together. Place the salmon, skin−side down, on several large sheets of  
plastic wrap. Cover the entire salmon with the curing mixture, packing the  
cure into the salmon. Wrap the salmon completely and tightly in the plastic  
wrap and place the salmon, skin−side down on a 1/2−sheet pan. Place  
something heavy like a skillet, weights, or a brick (which needs to be  
wrapped in plastic wrap). This will help infuse the salmon into the mixture.  
Refrigerate the salmon for 24 hours. Remove the salmon from the refrigerator  
and wipe off the salt mixture. Rinse the salmon under cold water, removing  
all the cure. Using a sharp knife, slice the salmon diagonally paper thin.  
Small dice the salmon. In a mixing bowl, toss the salmon with the red onions  
and chervil and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with black pepper. Spoon  
about 1/4 cup of the mixture into each pastry. Garnish with caviar. This  
recipe yields 28 servings.
