Foodies on Menorca
Some dishes catch the eye first and then win you over through balance. Pins 46’s sesame-crusted salmon is a fresh, aromatic proposal, carefully designed for those seeking contemporary Mediterranean cooking with an exotic touch, while keeping the product firmly at the centre.
The salmon fillet arrives with a generous crust of black and white sesame, bringing texture, toasted aroma and a pleasant contrast with the soft, juicy flesh of the fish. The coconut, lime and curry cream adds silkiness, fragrance and a citrus note that refreshes the dish without weighing it down. Grilled vegetables and potatoes complete the plate with colour, vegetal sweetness and a well-balanced garnish.
At Pins 46, part of the Balear Group in the centre of Ciutadella, this recipe shows the restaurant’s more contemporary side: product-led cooking, clean flavours and dishes made to be enjoyed without hurry, whether on the terrace, in the dining room or in the interior garden.
