Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g Fresh salmon fillet, skinless
- 1 large Lemon
- 1 large Lime
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons Capers, rinsed and drained
- 50 g Arugula leaves, fresh
- 1 medium Avocado
Instructions
Place the salmon fillet in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes to firm it up; this will make it easier to thinly slice.
While the salmon is chilling, zest and then juice the lemon and lime, keeping the zest and juice separated.
In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice, lime juice, and extra virgin olive oil together. Add freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Remove the salmon from the freezer and using a very sharp knife, slice it as thinly as you can.
Arrange the salmon slices in a single layer on a serving platter.
Drizzle the citrus-olive oil mixture evenly over the salmon slices.
Sprinkle the lemon and lime zests over the salmon for an added zing.
Finely chop the fresh dill and sprinkle over the salmon, followed by the capers.
Arrange fresh arugula leaves around or over the salmon for a peppery note.
Slice the avocado into thin wedges and place them strategically among the salmon slices for added creaminess.
Cover the platter with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes before serving.
