This is for @Timothy Lynch!
Went to Pastis, NYC and came away inspired by their excellent Tuna Crudo. Mine is a variation on that theme with Salmon coming along for the ride. Curly parsley, green onions, tarragon, coarse mustard and white wine vinegar provides the structure for the sushi-grade fish. The Ultramarine lifts the dish with its taut acidity and Meyer lemon notes. Thrilled with the combination.

Waiting a few years to taste this and was totally impressive. Driven by a throttling verve of energetic fruit, sharp acidity and bready texture. Showcases a grower style of green apple, lemon, almonds, brioche and emerging tertiary toffee and honey liquer. Well, we’ll done
