Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the fresh eel fillet. Carefully rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, slice the eel fillet into thin sashimi-style cuts, approximately 3mm thick. Arrange the slices neatly on a serving plate.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil and the juice of one lemon. Whisk together to emulsify the dressing.

Step 4

Finely mince the garlic clove and add it to the dressing along with the capers.

Step 5

Season the eel slices lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 6

Drizzle the lemon and olive oil dressing over the eel sashimi evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the chopped fresh dill over the eel for added flavor.

Step 8

Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and toss them with the mixed salad greens in a separate bowl.

Step 9

Arrange the salad next to the eel sashimi on the same plate, enhancing the dish visually and adding a Mediterranean touch.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer.
