Servings 4 Servings

Ingredients
  

  • 10 ounces fresh sushi-grade loin, skinless
  • ¼ cup good quality extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons capers, drained, rinsed and dried
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • ¼ red onion, very thinly sliced
  • ½ teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • lemon wedges, for serving
  • 1 leek, to fry as a garnish, optional

Instructions
 

  • Wrap salmon tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for 30 minutes.
  • Using a sharp knife, slice the salmon against the grain into very thin slices. Place on serving platter and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until ready to serve.
  • Meanwhile, warm olive oil in a small skillet, over medium-high heat. Add the capers and fry for 30-40 seconds. Transfer the capers to a paper towel–lined plate. Pour the oil into a small bowl and let cool for 5 minutes.
  • Add the lemon juice and parsley to the bowl with the caper oil and whisk until the dressing is emulsified.
  • Arrange the red onion slices and capers on top of the salmon and drizzle with the dressing. Season lightly with flaky salt and serve with lemon wedges. Enjoy!
  • To fry the leeks, if using, trim the end of the leek (not on the root side). Cut the light green and white part into four sections, with the root still attached. Rinse the leek well in cold water, removing all the dirt from the inside of the layers. Dry with a paper towel, and slice into thin strands. Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering add the leeks and fry until they are light golden brown. Stir them a few times while frying so they don't stick. Transfer the leeks to a cooling rack or a paper towel to drain. Use as a garnish.
