- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Capers
- 100 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 50 grams Black olives
- 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt

Instructions
Ensure your salmon belly is sushi-grade; it's important for safety and quality.
Place the salmon belly on a clean cutting board. Use a sharp knife to slice the salmon into thin, even sashimi pieces. Aim for slices that are approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Arrange the slices nicely on a serving platter, slightly overlapping them for presentation.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice until well blended.
Drizzle the olive oil mixture evenly over the salmon slices, ensuring each piece gets a nice coating.
Sprinkle the capers over the sashimi, distributing them evenly.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and scatter them around the salmon. You can let a few sit on top of the sashimi for added visual appeal.
Slice the black olives into rings and distribute them on the platter.
Tear the basil leaves into smaller pieces and sprinkle them over the sashimi.
Season everything with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness of each ingredient.
