Salmon Crudo ❤️👌🏻 A variation of this is my go to appetizer when hosting or when I’m in the mood for something fresh/light. Ok, I LOVE raw fish ok? I feel like we’ve established that by now but I am especially weak for salmon. RAW salmon obviously. Out of all my salmon crudos, this has been one of my favorites.
If you love crudos as much as I do, you have to check out my Ginger Scallion Salmon Crudo!
Why You’ll Love Salmon Crudo Recipe
Apart from being absolutely gorgeous, it’s so fresh, light and super easy to make. It’s not spicy, the capers are briney, and the japanese mayo adds a creamy touch. The shallot caper sauce is everything. The combination of flavors is insane, trust me… You are gonna love it!
How To Prepare Salmon Crudo Recipe
🔪 First, chop the shallot and capers together. Then, using the back of your knife form a paste.
🍋 Secondly, add that to a bowl with the chives, dill, dijon, Tamari, caper juice, lemon and drizzle the olive oil as you mix.
🍣 Then, slice your salmon and cucumber.
🥒 Arrange the cucumber on a plate. Then, add the salmon on top and drizzle the sauce on top.
🌿 Lastly, add the Japanese mayo on top to balance the acidity, micro arugula and flaky sea salt to taste.
