The 3-Martini Lunch is offered for $19.99 per person, with drink pairing recommendations for an additional cost. Salty’s chefs have developed the following menu to honor your key staff members during this holiday week:
1ST COURSE – SALTY’S SEAFOOD CEVICHE
Seafood marinated in Lemon Juice and kicked up with Jalapeño, Cilantro and Onion, served with Tortilla Chips
Our chefs search the Pacific Northwest and the world for the best seafood so you can enjoy the fruits of our labor. This is a perfect start to a light lunch so you can still work afterwards! Fresh Alaskan halibut and shrimp are soaked in lemon juice until they “cook”– yes, the acid in the lemon juice “cooks” it. We strain off the juices and kick it up with jalapeño peppers, cilantro, onions and a touch of tomato. It’s served ice cold with warm tortilla chips.
2ND COURSE –WARM SEAFOOD SALAD
Salmon and Prawns simmered in Sherry Vinaigrette poured over a Salad of Romaine, Tomato, Red Pepper and topped with Fresh Grated Parmesan
Salmon dusted with sea salt is seared golden brown, with prawns, minced garlic and chopped shallots. The pan is deglazed with Don Bruno sherry vinegar from Spain and finished with a touch of butter and salt. It’s served “up” like a martini and ready for you to pour over Romaine, sweet peppers, vine-ripened tomatoes and freshly grated Argitoni Parmesan cheese blended with a touch of Pecorino—with freshly-ground Madagascar peppercorns to garnish.
3RD COURSE – CHOCOLATE TIRAMISU
Lady Finger Cookies soaked in Espresso, topped with Mascarpone and Chocolate Shavings
This classic comes to Salty’s for you and only you. Ladyfinger cookies are soaked in a touch of chilled espresso, placed on the bottom of a martini glass, and topped with light and fluffy mascarpone cream and shaved chocolate – all for pure bliss (so you’ll love your boss no matter what).
BEVERAGE PAIRINGS – Cucumber DRY Soda $3.99 or Cucumber Martini (Choose Vodka or Gin) $8.99
We resurrect the fresh flavors of spring with our Cucumber Martini. Fresh cucumber is muddled with your choice of vodka or gin for a clean, green martini. Or choose a Cucumber DRY Soda for an alcohol-free spring fling.
