Ingredients
- 300 grams fresh salmon fillet
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 piece red onion
- 50 grams arugula
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing your salmon, which should be as fresh as possible. Place the salmon fillet in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes for easier slicing.
Step 2
Remove the salmon from the freezer and cut it into thin slices using a sharp knife. For best results, aim for slices that are about 1/8 inch thick.
Step 3
Arrange the salmon slices evenly on a large, flat serving platter or individual plates.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice to make a light dressing.
Step 5
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salmon slices, ensuring each piece is lightly covered.
Step 6
Sprinkle the capers over the salmon, distributing them evenly.
Step 7
Finely chop the fresh dill and evenly distribute it over the salmon.
Step 8
Thinly slice the red onion into rings or half-moons and arrange these over the salmon.
Step 9
Season the salmon with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Step 10
Finally, garnish the dish with fresh arugula, arranging it around or on top of the salmon.
Step 11
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. Optionally, you can refrigerate for up to 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
