Best Salmon Carpaccio Recipes

FRESH SALMON CARPACCIO

Steps:

• Rinse and dry the salmon, then wrap in cling film and freeze for 1 hr to make slicing easier. Meanwhile, finely grate the zest from one lemon and squeeze the juice from both. Mix in a bowl with the dill, shallots, sugar and 1 tsp sea salt. Add the olive oil and whisk to amalgamate.
• Unwrap the salmon and set on a large chopping board. Cut wafer-thin slices on the diagonal, as you would smoked salmon. Arrange a layer of the salmon over a large shallow dish, then spoon over a little of the marinade - spreading it to evenly coat the fish. Continue slicing and layering, finishing with a layer of marinade. Cover with cling film, directly over the fish, and chill for at least 2 hrs or overnight.
• To serve, arrange the salmon slices over a platter and scatter over the capers and some salad leaves. Serve with thinly sliced brown bread or soda bread.

• On a large plate, wave the salmon around freestyle. Throw on some sprigs of watercress, then the beetroot. Using a sharp grater, such as a microplane, finely grate the horseradish over. Add a little of the beetroot juice and a bit of pepper, then finish with a drizzle of olive oil.

Gently unpeel top layer of plastic and then set it back over the fish. Place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
• Whisk together wasabi, vinegar, soy sauce, yogurt, and cream in a small bowl or measuring cup.
