Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

8 ounces salmon, preferably wild
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for brushing
1 small shallot, finely diced
2 teaspoons finely chopped lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Salt
pepper
1 teaspoon capers, rinsed and roughly chopped
2 teaspoons snipped chives
Nasturtium petals, optional
8 ounces halibut fillet
Salt
pepper
2 scallions, chopped fine
1 small cucumber, peeled, seeded and finely diced, about 1/2 cup
1/2 teaspoon grated or finely minced jalapeño, optional
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 small lime, or to taste
2 teaspoons snipped dill, optional

Steps:

  • To prepare the salmon carpaccio: Slice the salmon crosswise into 4 equal pieces. Paint each slice lightly with olive oil and place between 2 pieces of waxed paper. Using a meat mallet or wine bottle, with light tapping motions, very gently pound the salmon to about 1/16- inch thickness. Refrigerate in the waxed paper until ready to serve.
  • Put the shallot, lemon zest and lemon juice in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add the capers. Whisk in 3 tablespoons olive oil.
  • To prepare the halibut tartare: Dice the halibut as small as possible, put it in a bowl and put the bowl on ice.
  • Just before serving, season the halibut with salt and pepper. Gently stir in the scallions, cucumber, jalapeño, olive oil and lime juice.
  • For each serving, carefully peel one sheet of waxed paper from the salmon and invert onto a chilled plate. Remove the remaining waxed paper. Sprinkle the salmon lightly with salt. Drizzle with the lemon-caper oil and sprinkle with the chives and nasturtium petals.
  • Spoon a 2-ounce mound of halibut tartare onto each plate, next to the salmon. Sprinkle with the dill.

The halibut tartare was a bit too fishy for my taste.

The halibut tartare was a bit more challenging to make, but it was worth the effort. The combination of flavors and textures was amazing.
