Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Fresh eel fillet
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium Lemon
- 1 tablespoon Capers
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 small Garlic clove
- 100 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 100 grams Mixed salad greens
Instructions
Begin by preparing the fresh eel fillet. Carefully rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Using a sharp knife, slice the eel fillet into thin sashimi-style cuts, approximately 3mm thick. Arrange the slices neatly on a serving plate.
In a small bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil and the juice of one lemon. Whisk together to emulsify the dressing.
Finely mince the garlic clove and add it to the dressing along with the capers.
Season the eel slices lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Drizzle the lemon and olive oil dressing over the eel sashimi evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh dill over the eel for added flavor.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and toss them with the mixed salad greens in a separate bowl.
Arrange the salad next to the eel sashimi on the same plate, enhancing the dish visually and adding a Mediterranean touch.
Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer.
