Instructions

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.

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.

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.

Season the Salmon: Sprinkle the salmon slices with a pinch of salt and some freshly ground black pepper.

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.

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.

Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, sprinkle the capers over the marinated salmon. The capers add a tangy and salty element to the dish.

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.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Salmon Selection Secrets 🐟
Choose sashimi-grade salmon from a trusted fishmonger and ensure it's ultra-fresh, preferably caught within 24 hours and kept at proper refrigeration temperature.
Precision Slicing Technique 🔪
Partially freeze the salmon for 15-20 minutes before slicing to achieve paper-thin, uniform cuts that melt in your mouth and create a professional presentation.
Citrus Marinade Magic 🍋
Let the salmon briefly 'cook' in the citrus marinade for 3-5 minutes to denature proteins and enhance the delicate flavor without traditional heat preparation.
Herb and Caper Balance 🌿
Finely chop parsley and capers to create a balanced garnish that provides textural contrast and bright, briny notes to the rich salmon.
Plating Perfection 🍽️
Arrange salmon slices in a slightly overlapping, fan-like pattern on a chilled plate to maintain temperature and create an elegant, restaurant-quality presentation.
