Make your own mayonnaise using this very simple stick blender method. But if you can't be bothered, a good shop-bought mayonnaise is perfectly fine. The combination of fresh raw salmon and fragrant herbs is a perfect match for creamy mayonnaise and crunchy apple and celeriac.

Ingredients

¼ celeriac bulb
1 Granny Smith apple
200g sashimi-grade salmon
¼ cup finely sliced chives
2 tbsp finely shredded dill
1 head iceberg lettuce, leaves removed and trimmed into cups
lemon or lime wedges, to serve

Mayonnaise

1 egg
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp lemon juice
salt, to season
1 cup grapeseed oil

Method

1. For the mayonnaise, crack the egg into a tall container and place the remaining ingredients on top. Push a stick blender all the way to the base of the container and blend, slowly drawing the blender to the top to incorporate the oil into a creamy mayonnaise.
2. Slice the celeriac and apple on a mandoline, then julienne into fine matchsticks. Dice the salmon.
3. Combine the salmon, celeriac, apple, chives, dill and mayonnaise and mix well. Place a generous amount of salmon filling into each lettuce cup.
