Ingredients

• 300 grams fresh salmon fillet
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 whole lemon
• 1 tablespoon capers
• 5 pieces kalamata olives
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 20 grams microgreens
• 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Ensure your salmon is of the highest quality and sushi-grade as it will be consumed raw. Place the salmon fillet in the freezer for about 15 minutes, just enough to firm it up for easier slicing.

Step 2

While the salmon chills, prepare the other ingredients. Zest the lemon to get about half a teaspoon of zest, then cut the lemon in half and juice it.

Step 3

Rinse the capers and drain them well. Pit the kalamata olives if not already pitted, and slice them thinly.

Step 4

Chop the fresh dill finely.

Step 5

Remove the salmon from the freezer and using a sharp knife, slice the salmon into thin pieces about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 6

Arrange the salmon slices on a large plate in a single layer.

Step 7

Drizzle the salmon with extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the capers, sliced olives, and chopped dill over the salmon.

Step 9

Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Step 10

Finish with a sprinkle of lemon zest for freshness and garnish with microgreens.

Step 11

Serve immediately as a light, refreshing appetizer or starter.
