Ingredients

• 400 grams fresh sushi-grade salmon fillet
• 1 whole lemon
• 1 whole lime
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoons fresh dill
• 2 tablespoons capers
• 1 whole avocado
• 20 grams microgreens

Directions

Step 1

Start by gently rinsing the salmon fillet under cold water and patting it dry with paper towels. Make sure it is completely dry before proceeding.

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, slice the salmon into thin, even slices, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Arrange the slices slightly overlapping each other on a chilled platter.

Step 3

Zest the lemon and lime, being careful to only take the colored part from the skin, avoiding the bitter white pith. Set the zest aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, squeeze the juice of both the lemon and the lime, and add the extra virgin olive oil. Whisk together until well combined.

Step 5

Drizzle the citrus-olive oil mixture evenly over the arranged salmon slices.

Step 6

Sprinkle sea salt and freshly ground black pepper over the salmon to taste.

Step 7

Finely chop the fresh dill and scatter it over the salmon.

Step 8

Roughly chop the capers and sprinkle them evenly over the dish.

Step 9

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Cut the avocado into thin slices and arrange them around the salmon.

Step 10

Finally, top the crudo with fresh microgreens for an added crunch and color burst.

Step 11

Serve immediately, ideally chilled, to maintain the freshness of the fish and maximize flavor. Enjoy!
