Salmon Crudo
This raw salmon dish boasts the title of being the laziest yet most impressive dish you'll ever make. With its buttery texture, zesty citrus marinade, and thin slices of salmon topped with flaky salt and fresh herbs, it's a perfect appetizer that's ready in minutes. This quick salmon crudo has become a go-to dish on Friday evenings- after a long week- and I don't have any energy but want something special to celebrate the start of the weekend.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Prepare the Salmon: Place the salmon fillet on a clean cutting board. Make sure there are no bones or scales left on the fillet. Pat it dry with paper towels.
- Step 2
Slice the Salmon: Using a sharp knife, slice the salmon into thin, uniform pieces. You can slice it on a slight diagonal to create larger slices. Arrange the slices on a serving plate. Leave some space between each slice for the marinade to cover evenly.
- Step 3
Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine the finely chopped shallots and rice wine vinegar. Let them sit for about 10 minutes. This will help mellow the sharpness of the shallots.
- Step 4
Season the Salmon: Sprinkle the salmon slices with a pinch of salt and some freshly ground black pepper.
- Step 5
Finish the Marinade: To the bowl with the shallots and vinegar, add the chopped parsley, lemon juice, orange juice and lemon zest. Stir well to combine. Taste the marinade and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Step 6
Marinate the Salmon: Pour the marinade evenly over the sliced salmon. Make sure each slice is coated with the marinade. Allow the salmon to marinate in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes.
- Step 7
Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, sprinkle the capers over the marinated salmon. The capers add a tangy and salty element to the dish.
- Step 8
Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Salmon Crudo immediately as an appetizer or a light main course. For extra flavor and presentation, you can garnish it with a few lemon or orange wedges.
