Crispy Parmesan Pirouettes with Salmon Pearls and Lemon Cream




Crispy Parmesan Pirouettes with Salmon Pearls and Lemon Cream
2 servings
As shared from the kitchen of Once Upon a Plate

Ingredients:

1 cup (about 3 ounces) finely grated parmesan
salmon pearls (salmon caviar/roe)
chervil leaves, to garnish

Lemon Cream
¼ cup sour cream
½ teaspoon lemon zest
½ teaspoon lemon juice


Prepare the lemon cream:
In a small bowl mix sour cream, lemon zest and juice stir until thoroughly combined. Set aside.

Preheat oven to (350°F). Line a large, shallow baking pan with baking parchment or a silicone baking mat.

Make 6 circular mounds (1 1/2 Tablespoons each) of Parmesan cheese on the lined baking sheet, spaced apart to allow for spreading. Flatten mounds slightly.

Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until golden, watch carefully. Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly and roll into cylinders.

Spoon the lemon cream into small dishes or pots and top with salmon pearls and chervil, snipped chives or a small piece of a parsley leaf. Serve with the parmesan crisps.
