Ingredients
1 lb sushi-grade salmon, center-cut
2 tbsp shallots, finely minced
1 tbsp capers, rinsed and chopped
1 tbsp lime juice, freshly squeezed
1 tbsp fresh dill, minced
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Clean the salmon by removing any remaining pin bones using culinary tweezers.
Dice the salmon into uniform quarter-inch cubes using a very sharp chef knife.
Place the diced salmon into a stainless steel mixing bowl set over an ice bath.
Combine the finely minced shallots, chopped capers, and fresh dill in the bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil and fresh lime juice over the salmon mixture.
Fold the ingredients gently with a silicone spatula to avoid bruising the delicate fish cubes.
Notes
Always purchase fish explicitly labeled as sushi-grade or sashimi-grade. Serve immediately after preparation while the fish is cold. For best results, use a high-quality cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil.
