How to Make Salmon Crudo
- Mince a very small shallot finely, ensuring the pieces are tiny for a delicate flavor that enhances the dish without overpowering the salmon.
- Squeeze the juice from half a lemon and half a lime into a bowl. Freshly squeezed citrus adds a bright zing that brings the flavors of the crudo to life.
- If the salmon is not pre-sliced, use a sharp knife to slice against the grain into ¼ inch thick pieces. Aim for even slices to ensure a pleasing presentation.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the minced shallot, citrus juices, and soy sauce. This flavorful dressing brings the dish together, enhancing the salmon's richness.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil on a serving plate, then elegantly arrange the salmon slices on top, creating a beautiful mosaic of colors.
- Drizzle additional olive oil over the salmon and gently pour the dressing around the salmon, avoiding direct contact to keep the presentation clean.
- Add sliced scallions, chives, or micro-greens on top and sprinkle with flaky salt (optional). This adds a final touch of color and flavor.
- Enjoy chilled and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture, allowing your guests to indulge in the freshness.
