Ingredients

  • 1 sheet toasted nori sheet
  • 1 Tbsp mild red pepper flakes
  • 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp flaky sea salt
  • ½ whole lemon
  • lb mixed radishes
  • ¾ cup crème fraîche
  • 1 piece spice mill

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1.

    Finely grind nori in spice mill; transfer to a small bowl and mix in red pepper flakes, sesame seeds, and 1 tsp. sea salt. Using a Microplane, finely grate zest of lemon half into bowl and use your fingers to work it into nori mixture (this will keep the zest from clumping). Set lemon half aside.
