Provided by Ming Tsai

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 (2-ounce) salmon fillets
Fleur de sel, or regular sea salt
Coarsely ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped chives
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 tablespoon finely julienned fresh ginger

Steps:

  • Wrap each piece of salmon loosely in plastic film. Place on a work surface and using a meat pounder or mallet, pound the fish gently to about 1/8-inch thickness.
  • Unwrap the salmon and transfer each flattened fillet to a serving plate. Season the fish lightly with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the chives.
  • In a small skillet over high heat, heat the olive oil until very hot, about 5 minutes. Stir in the ginger, remove from the stove, and immediately spoon a bit of the oil over 1 portion of the fish. The fish should sizzle when the oil hits it; if not, return the skillet to the stove, reheat the oil. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the hot oil over each portion and serve at once.
