Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams fresh salmon fillet
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 50 grams arugula
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
Freeze the salmon fillet for about 15-20 minutes to firm it up. This will make slicing easier and allow you to achieve the thin cuts essential for carpaccio.
While the salmon is in the freezer, prepare the dressing by mixing the lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, and a pinch of black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
Once the salmon is slightly firm, use a sharp knife to slice it as thinly as possible. Aim for paper-thin slices.
Arrange the salmon slices on a large platter or individual plates in an overlapping pattern.
Drizzle the lemon dressing evenly over the salmon slices.
Scatter capers and fresh dill leaves generously over the top.
Lightly season the salmon with sea salt to taste.
Garnish with fresh arugula around the edges or underneath the salmon for a pop of color and peppery flavor.
Serve immediately for the best texture and freshness.
