Gratin is an exquisite Italian delicacy that combines the tenderness of salmon, the sweetness of shrimp, and the rich flavor of Dutch cheese. This recipe embodies the harmony of seafood and traditional baked cuisine. A light mayonnaise sauce with aromatic dill adds freshness to the dish, while baking in the oven reveals the depth of flavors. The taste of gratin is rich and multifaceted: the soft texture of fish, the slight firmness of shrimp, and the gooey melted cheese create a wonderful gastronomic delight. This dish is perfect for a festive dinner or a romantic evening, adding a touch of elegance to your table. It pairs wonderfully with white wine and a light vegetable garnish, highlighting the richness of flavors and providing true enjoyment in every bite.

Ingredients

• Salmon: 600 g
• Dutch cheese: 100 g
• Mayonnaise: 40 g
• Dill: 0.5 bunch
• Olive oil: 2 tbsp
• Peeled boiled shrimps: 12 pc
• Seasoning for fish: 4 g

Cooking steps

1. We take salmon fillet (the salmon should be slightly frozen) and cut it at an angle into 8 fillets of 2.5–3 cm thickness. Then we pound each piece. Each roll will consist of two salmon fillets. We place one piece on top of the other overlapping by about 4–5 cm. We get a long piece of fillet and sprinkle it with fish spices.

   Required ingredients:

   • Salmon: 600 g
   • Seasoning for fish: 4 g

2. Then take the shrimp and cut them in half. Place 2 shrimp on each roll. Lay them at the end of the roll where you will start rolling it.

   Required ingredients:

   • Peeled boiled shrimps: 12 pieces

3. Grate the cheese on a coarse grater, add mayonnaise and finely chopped dill. Mix and form a ball in your palm (it should be neither too small nor too big), place it on the salmon next to the shrimp.

   Required ingredients:

   • Dutch cheese: 100 g
   • Mayonnaise: 40 g
   • Dill: 0.5 bunch

4. Then take the end where you placed the cheese and shrimp, and start rolling it up. After rolling, shape it in your hand like a barrel so that the bottom seals and the cheese doesn't leak, while the top should remain open.

5. After that, place on a baking sheet lightly greased with oil. Top with one shrimp cut in half but not all the way through to fan it out, and sprinkle a little cheese (grated finely) on top; you can also drizzle a bit of olive oil over it.

   Required ingredients:

   • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
   • Peeled boiled shrimps: 12 pieces
   • Dutch cheese: 100 g

6. Place in a preheated oven at 160–170 degrees for 15–20 minutes.
