It took me two attempts to become friends with matcha. I still don’t like matcha latte or plain matcha tea but I grew quite fond of using matcha powder as spice for savoury or sweet dishes. Like in this amazing matcha salmon poke bowl with a ruby grapefruit dressing. The pairing of the earthy matcha in the sushi rice, the sweet salmon and the tangy taste of the grapefruit is simply amazing. 

Poke bowls all over instagram these days because they are not only healthy but because they are so delicious. For example this colourful poke bowl is full of healthy vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids. Fresh veggies like radishes and cucumber slices add crispiness, some colourful grapefruit filets and edamame, and salmon caviar makes it extra special.

The recipe for this Hawaiian matcha salmon poke bowl is really simple but so complex in taste. Also I think it’s a fantastic recipe for a crowd. Quick and easy to prepare and your friends can even mix their own bowls! If you prefer tuna then you can even mix with this Ahi tuna poke bowl.

I would love to see your take on this recipe! Just comment at the bottom of the page or tag me on Instagram as @fifthfloorkitchen and use #fifthfloorkitchen hashtag.

My favourite kind of shopping is food shopping. I love spending time in gourmet food shops, foreign supermarkets or Asia shops. There’s a really nice gourmet food shop here in Hamburg where they have amazing delicacies like vintage sardines. I have a small collection of vintage sardines and I enjoy eating them on it’s own, in a sandwich or with salad. Here’s a recipe of vintage sardines on salad with cucumber, potatoes, fennel and crispy bacon. You don’t need to buy vintage sardines just make sure you use really good quality sardines. The best ones are from France or Portugal. Especially buy sardines marinated in olive oil or with olive oil and lemon. You can find vintage sardines also online here. Also most of the vintage sardines have a beautifully designed tin and usually are limited edition. Apparently, they should increase in value after a few years, but to be honest my little collection won’t last for so many years.  The pairing of salad, sardines, fennel and crispy bacon is really fantastic. Therefore I serve it with a vinaigrette full of herbs and a little bit of dijon mustard. In addition enjoy some chilled rosé wine with this delicious Mediterranean style salad.

During the cold season it’s so important to eat loads of vitamins and omega 3’s. They keep us healthy and happy.

We travelled the Yucatán Peninsula two years ago and I literally ate myself through southeastern Mexico. The food there was fantastic and totally different to the “Mexican” food we get served in Europe, of course! All the fresh fish, ripe avocados, tortillas and tacos made from corn flour, spicy chilis and a bit of Mezcal made this vacation very special. One of my favourite food discoveries on this journey was definitely this yummy ceviche.Ceviche is originally from Peru but is very common in all Latin American coastal countries. It’s so simple but so complex in taste. Basically it’s the best and freshest fish and prawns you can get, loads of lime juice, salt, spicy chili, coriander and various veggies. I usually add some sweet potato puree because I love the pairing of this sweet and creamy texture and crispy spicy ceviche. Ceviche is very similar to the Italian Crudo, Japanese Sashimi or the Hawaiian Poké. If you like these dishes you are going to love ceviche! It’s also perfect if you are on a fructosefree diet because my recipe is completely without onions or garlic. And if your body can’t handle tomatoes or green peppers just leave out or add the veggies you can eat easily!

Try this recipe and it will send you on a mini-break to Mexico! Share your take on this or any other of my recipes, I would love to see your pics. Tag me on Instagram as @fifthfloorkitchen and use #fifthfloorkitchen hashtag.

What’s better than salmon and caviar as a starter or as a highlight for your next brunch?! Of course fantastic blinis with salmon and trout caviar! Once you tried this fantastic no-recipe blinis you will never go back to salmon on toast. The blinis are so easy to prepare you won’t even need a recipe. These elegant buckwheat blinis will impress your friends and family. I’m sure you have all the ingredients at home, so ditch the toast and start mixing the blini dough. Crumble 20 gram of fresh yeast in a small bowl with 120 ml lukewarm milk, a pinch of grain sugar and mix together. In another bowl mix together 60 gram flour, 80 gram buckwheat flour and a pinch of salt. Add the yeast-milk and 2 free range eggs to the flour and mix well to a smooth dough. Let the dough rest for about 15 minutes at a warm spot. Heat up some ghee in a coated pan – this awesome crepe pan works well for me – and add the dough with a tablespoon. Fry them from both sides on medium heat. Serve with Crème fraîche (I usually add a teaspoon of mustard) and salmon, trout caviar, a bit of dill and lime wedges.

The recipe is really simple and will take you about 30 minutes to prepare. Once you tried it you will never forget it. Also, have a look at this amazing gin cured salmon recipe, it’s the perfect match for these blinis!

A few weeks ago we’ve been on holiday in Denmark. We’ve been in the south at the Baltic Sea and we spent a few days in Copenhagen. I love strolling the streets of Copenhagen, discovering nice little shops and of course finding lovely restaurants with typical nordic cuisine. And of course we also ate one of the most typical dishes in Scandinavia, graved salmon. Back home I had this beautiful gin cured salmon with summer greens and wasabi cream on my mind. Here it is, more beautiful and clearly easier to make than I imagined. 

It is really simple to make! Just make sure you use good quality salmon and of course the most beautiful edible greens and flowers of your garden. I used Hendrick’s Gin to cure the salmon because it has a wonderful rose and cucumber flavour which pairs perfectly with the salmon. Cure the salmon over night and surprise your family and friends with this lovely nordic garden on a plate!

I would love to see your takes of my recipes! Tag me on Instagram as @fifthfloorkitchen and use #fifthfloorkitchen hashtag. Share your pics with us!

Beautiful gin cured salmon with summer greens and wasabi cream

A nordic summer nights dream, gin cured salmon with edible summer greens and wasabi cream

  • 70 gram salt
  • 70 gram grape sugar
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 1 tsp whole pepper corns
  • 1 tsp coriander seeds
  • 1 tsp juniper berries
  • 80 ml Gin (Hendrick's, Tanqueray, etc)
  • 250 gram skin on salmon fillet
  • 1 small cucumber
  • 1 bunch mint
  • 1 handful sorell, baby spinach or baby leaves
  • 1 handful edible flowers like camomile, bean flowers or borage
  • 4 – 5 fresh radishes
  • 2 tsp wasabi paste
  • 100 ml cream
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • bread & butter to serve
  1. In a small pan roast the pepper corns, juniper berries and coriander seeds. This takes only a few minutes and they are ready as soon as you start smelling the wonderful flavour of juniper and coriander. Put the seeds and berries in a mortar and slightly crush it. 

  2. In a bowl mix together gin, salt, grape sugar, lime zest and the crushed juniper mix. 

  3. Wash and pad dry the salmon. I usually wrap the salmon in clingfilm and put it in a tupperware box to cure . So, prepare a clingfilm square big enough to wrap around the salmon. Now the salmon skin-side down on it. Put the gin mix on your salmon and quickly wrap it in clingfilm. Put it in a tupperware box, close the lid and let it cure over night in your fridge. Turn the fish after 12 hours.

  4. Wash and peel your cucumber. Cut it in half and remove the cucumber seed with a spoon or melon baller and cut in 2 cm slices. In a small pot bring salted water to a boil and quickly blanch the cucumber slices. Drain under ice water and set aside in a little bowl. 

  5. Wash and trim the radishes. Cut them in slices or if they are small enough leave them whole. Wash and trim all your other herbs and leaves so they are ready to arrange on the plate. 

  6. In a bowl mix wasabi paste and cream and whip up with a mixer. Also, in a little glass mix together olive oil and lime juice.

  7. Take your cured salmon out of the fridge. Unwrap the salmon and reserve some of the liquid. Add some some of the liquid to your blanched cucumbers and let them marinade for 30 minutes. Meanwhile very thinly slice salmon on the diagonal, discarding skin and arrange on a serving platter.

  8. Scatter with cucumber, mint leaves, edible flowers and herbs. Add little dots of wasabi cream with a decoration tube. Drizzle with olive oil & lime mix and serve with fresh bread and butter. Enjoy!

Today I want to share with you my cherished breakfast-for-dinner recipe. It has all your favourite breakfast ingredients like eggs, salmon and avocado but it’s served for dinner – with a glass of wine! It’s roasted sweet potatoes with spicy avocado cream, topped with lamb’s lettuce in sesame and soy dressing, smoked salmon and poached egg. Simply delish! 

I absolutely love poached eggs. I prefer them over soft eggs, sunny side ups, hard boiled and even over cloud eggs – they are overrated anyway! We used to have poached eggs only at the weekends for breakfast. I thought why don’t we have breakfast for dinner, so we can have poached eggs even during the week. I already shared quite a few recipes with poached eggs with you, so we are already experts with the technique.

This coconut oil roasted sweet potatoes topped with spicy avocado cream, lamb’s lettuce with sesame and soy dressing, smoked salmon and poached egg sounds very complex. But you will be surprised how easy and quick it is to prepare. Start heating up your oven for the sweet potato slices!

Share your take on this awesome breakfast-for-dinner or any other of my recipes! Tag me on Instagram as @fifthfloorkitchen and use #fifthfloorkitchen hashtag. I can’t wait to see your pics!

sweet potatoes with avocado, sweet potato, salmon and egg

Oven roasted sweet potatoes topped with spicy avocado cream, lamb’s lettuce with sesame and soy dressing, smoked salmon and poached egg

  • 1-2 sweet potatoes
  • 1 handful lamb's lettuce
  • 200 gram smoked salmon
  • 4 radishes
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 4-5 cherry tomatoes
  • 1 spicy fresh chili
  • 1 bunch coriander
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 tsp sesame oil
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1 lime (juice)
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp roasted sesame seeds
  • 2 free range eggs
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut dem in 2 cm high slices. Put them on a baking tray lined with baking parchment and cover with coconut oil. Season with salt and pepper and put into the oven for about 25 minutes. Turn the slices every 10 minutes. 

  2. Meanwhile wash and cut the tomatoes in small pieces. Wash and chop the coriander and the chili. Peel the avocado and mash it in a bowl. Add the tomatoes and coriander to the avocado mash and mix together. Season to taste with salt and chopped chili. 

  3. Wash the lamb’s lettuce and pat dry. Wash and cut the radishes in slices. Prepare the dressing for the lamb’s lettuce. In a little bowl mix together soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, 1 tbsp of sesame seeds and a pinch of pepper. Wait until you are ready to arrange everything on the plates with marinating the lamb’s lettuce and radishes (or it will get soggy too quickly).

  4. 5 minutes before your sweet potatoes are ready start preparing the poached eggs. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add 2 tsp of salt and 2 tbsp white wine vinegar. Crack eggs individually into a ramekin or cup. Create a gentle swirl in the water to help the egg white wrap around the yolk. Slowly tip the egg into the water. Leave to cook for three minutes. Remove with a dipper and drain onto kitchen paper.

  5. Take your sweet potatoes out of the oven and arrange on your plates. Top with spicy avocado cream, add your marinated salad, the smoked salmon and poached egg. Drizzle with left over soy marinade and sesame seeds. Enjoy your breakfast for dinner!

As the days are getting warmer I am craving Mediterranean food. For me summer means tasty and ripe tomatoes, fresh fish and lovely recipes from the seaside. I’ve got a French bistro classic for you today. Salad Niçoise, a French composed salad with tuna, green beans, hard boiled eggs, tomatoes, onions, capers and potatoes. The original recipe comes from Nice, at the Côte d’Azur in France. My Salad Niçoise is a bit different to the original, basically mine is the 2017 version of a 90ies classic.

I’m not a big fan of tinned tuna so I replaced it with fresh, raw tuna. I also swapped the potatoes for some potato crisps! And as for the onions, I completely left them out. I don’t eat onions because of my Fructose Malabsorbation. Feel free to add onions or other Mediterranean veggies to your Salad Niçoise!

Oh la la la, Salad Niçoise

Delicious summer salad that will take you straight to the French Riviera!

  • 200 gram fresh tuna
  • potato crisps
  • 1 small romana salad
  • 8-10 green olives
  • 5-8 small ripe cocktail tomatoes
  • 0,5 cucumber
  • 2 anchovis
  • 4 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 lime (juice)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 100 gram sugar snaps (cooked)
  • 2 free range eggs
  • 1 handful edamame
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  1. Wash and trim all your veggies and salad. Wash and chop your tuna into 2 – 3 cm squares. 

  2. Chop the anchovis until smooth and mix with mayonnaise. 

  3. Mix olive oil, lime juice, salt and pepper for your simple vinaigrette.

  4. Now prepare your poached eggs: Bring a pot of water to a boil and add 2 tsp of salt and 2 tbsp white wine vinegar. Crack eggs individually into a ramekin or cup. Create a gentle swirl in the water to help the egg white wrap around the yolk. Slowly tip the egg into the water. Leave to cook for three minutes. Remove with a dipper and drain onto kitchen paper.

  5. Now to your salad: Arrange all the veggies, tuna and salad on a large serving platter or plates; Leave some space for the potato crisps. Place the poached egg on top. Drizzle dressing over all ingredients, add a few dots of your anchovi mayonnaise, season with salt and pepper. Now add the potato crisps and serve! Bon Appetit!

Just like the Ahi Pokè Bowl I saw sushi donuts a while ago on instagram. So if you like donuts and sushi you will absolutely love sushi donuts or if you prefer, doughnuts!  Although it has nothing to do with the sweet donuts you have with your afternoon coffee. It’s actual sushi shaped like a donut. Made with sushi rice, fresh fish, a spicy avocado filling and all the toppings you can think of!

It’s a lot of fun preparing the sushi donuts! Perfect idea for a date night or for your next girls night. You can get creative with your toppings and make awesome creations. You can prepare everything in advance, cook the sushi rice and chop all the toppings. Just make sure you use absolutely fresh fish like tuna or salmon. A big bonus is also a good donut mould. I have non-stick silicone moulds which work perfectly for me! 

Sushi Donuts

If you like sushi, you will absolutely love these impressive-looking sushi donuts with your favourite choice of toppings. It’s a lot of fun to make and so yummy!

  • 400 gram sushi rice
  • 5 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 4 tsp grape sugar
  • 200 gram sushi tuna
  • 200 gram sushi salmon
  • 2 avocados
  • 1 bunch radishes
  • 2 small cucumbers
  • 1 package cress (preferably shiso cress)
  • 5 tbsp black sesame
  • 1 glass gari (sushi ginger)
  • wasabi
  • soy sauce
  • 6 nori sheets
  • trout caviar
  • salt
  • 1 lime (juice)
  1. Prepare the sushi rice according to packet instructions. In a big bowl mix the rice vinegar and grape sugar and add the cooked sushi rice. Gently mix and let it cool down. 

  2. For the avocado filling: crush the avocado until smooth and season to taste with wasabi and lime juice. Put the avocado filling in a piping bag and let it chill until you are ready with the rest of the preparations. 

  3. Wash and prepare all the toppings. Cut the fish, chop the radishes, cucumbers and all your other favourite toppings. Cut nori sheets into squares.

  4. Shape your sushi doughnuts: (If you don’t have a non-stick mould lightly coat the doughnut pan with oil.) Fill up your moulds half with sushi rice, press down with your hands and add the wasabi-avocado filling. Then top up with sushi rice and press down. Turn the silicone mould over a plate and transfer each rice doughnut to the center of a nori sheet.

  5. Now decorate your sushi donuts with your favourite toppings and serve with gari, soy sauce and wasabi.
