How to Make Salmon Crudo with Citrus Soy Dressing

Ingredients

• 6-8 oz. Raw salmon (sliced, sushi-grade is best)
• 1 Shallot (very small, minced finely)
• 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (high quality EVOO)
• ½ Lemon (juiced, about 2 tbsp)
• ½ Lime (juiced, about 2 tbsp)
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce (or tamari for GF)

Directions

1. Begin by mincing a small shallot as finely as possible.
2. Next, juice 1/2 lemon and 1/2 a lime.
3. If your salmon is not pre-sliced, carefully use a sharp knife to slice against the grain (aka perpendicular to the white lines). Slices should be around 1/4 inch thick or so.
4. In a measuring cup or mixing bowl, add the shallot, juices, and soy sauce. Whisk together.
5. To your serving plate, drizzle one tablespoon of olive oil on the base of the plate.
6. Then, lay the salmon on top of the oil in a visually pleasing arrangement.
7. Drizzle the other tablespoon (or more) of olive oil on top of the fish.
8. Gently pour in the dressing so that it is around (but not on top of) the salmon pieces.
9. Garnish with sliced scallions, chives, or micro-greens.
10. Optionally top with flaky salt.
11. Enjoy chilled and serve immediately.
