Ingredients

• 200 grams fresh salmon fillet, skinless
• 1 whole lemon
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon capers
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
• 1 cup arugula
• 30 grams parmesan cheese, shaved

Directions

Step 1

Place the salmon fillet in the freezer for 15 minutes. This makes it easier to slice thinly.

Step 2

While the salmon is in the freezer, zest the lemon and then cut it in half to juice. Set both the zest and juice aside.

Step 3

Remove the salmon from the freezer and, using a sharp knife, slice it as thinly as possible against the grain. Arrange the slices neatly on a large serving platter.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until emulsified.

Step 5

Drizzle the olive oil and lemon mixture evenly over the arranged salmon slices.

Step 6

Scatter capers across the salmon for bursts of briny flavor.

Step 7

Chop the fresh dill and parsley finely and sprinkle over the salmon.

Step 8

Top with a handful of arugula, ensuring an even distribution over the salmon.

Step 9

Using a vegetable peeler, shave thin slices of parmesan cheese and sprinkle over the carpaccio.

Step 10

Finish with a sprinkle of lemon zest for an added citrusy aroma.

Step 11

Serve immediately as an appetizer or a light main dish.
