Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup salted butter until smooth. Spread mixture evenly on a 12-inch round baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, finely chop 2 tbsp fresh dill. Mix with 1/2 cup almond flour and 1/4 tsp salt. Press half of the mixture onto the frozen cream layer, forming a crust.
  4. Step 4: Place salmon fillet on top of the crust, season with salt and pepper, and spread remaining dill mixture over the salmon. Freeze for 10 minutes to set.
  5. Step 5: In a heatproof bowl, melt 8 oz dark chocolate with 1/2 cup heavy cream over a double boiler. Pour chocolate mixture over the salmon, ensuring even coverage. Freeze for 30 minutes until firm.
  6. Step 6: Carefully invert onto a serving plate. Garnish with edible gold leaf and serve chilled.
