The Hot Smoked Salmon has been on the menu from day one at Prefab. At the moment it's being served as a side dish available with a large number of items - the scrambled eggs, the ACME salad and as the main treat between thick slices of ACME sourdough bread.
Smoking the salmon is a daily ritual at Prefab - about 3 kilos are smoked each morning. Our Head Chef Steve Mahoney credits the flavour and popularity of the salmon to one of the key ingredients the unrefined Dulce Sugar we source from Costa Rica.
The Dulce "has a spice to it that makes it taste so much better than ordinary brown sugar" Steve says.
Like so many good dishes the recipe is so very simple.
