Lots of interesting flavors in this dish, but everything came together quite well. I started out with the corn and celery root salad and then tried to figure out what else would go together with those flavors. I knew the salmon and the salad would work, but just that alone would've been a little too simple. After a little brain wracking, came up with this dish. The salad (fresh blanched corn, celery root, red onion, red bell pepper, jalapeno, red chili flakes, lime juice, verjus, olive oil, salt) was finished off with some micro shiso and rendered and diced lardons. The miso emulsion was a cross between a vinaigrette and an aioli. The rice was topped with yukari which is a dried red shiso powder.
