What goes with Salmon Roe?
Salmon roe consists of relatively large eggs with a delicate enclosing membrane and a fluid, protein- and lipid-containing interior. Salt-cured ikura brings substantial seasoning as well as marine savour; species, maturity and curing intensity change egg size, firmness and salinity.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Salmon Roe?
Mild starch and cultured dairy make the salty bursts legible, while acidic sauces and aromatic herbs provide contrast. Keep supporting ingredients low in added salt and avoid reducing a sauce after incorporating the eggs. A small measured roe component can season a whole bite without becoming a decorative afterthought.
