MEZCAL CURED SALMON SALAD

I didn't do medicine. One reason is that I didn't do well enough to get into the Faculty of Medicine. I did get into architecture - but as far as I know, nobody has ever been cured by a building. I thought of this tonight because this is about the only curing I'm capable of now. I bought a salmon tail on Thursday and cured it in mezcal, sugar, salt and coriander seeds. Tonight I composed this salad (and a salad is all the composing I'm capable of, despite 6 years of piano lessons and a stint in the school choir). Black beans, Lebanese cucumber, baby roma tomatoes and baby spinach. Healthy, colourful ... but hardly enough to cure someone.
