Ingredients
  

  • ½ lb sushi-grade salmon skinless
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ red onion very thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon small capers
  • 2 teaspoons fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon fresh minced chives
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

  • Use a sharp non-serrated knife to slice the salmon against the grain into thin slices.
  • Arrange the slices on a serving platter (or separate salad plates) and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Mix the extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice together in a small bowl.
  • Arrange the red onion slices on top of the salmon, and scatter over the capers, chives, and dill.
  • Drizzle the dressing over the salmon, season with salt and pepper, and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • To ensure the freshest taste, prepare the dish just before serving to avoid the lemon juice "cooking" the salmon.
  • You can also add variations such as avocado, fennel, or a few thinly sliced radishes for extra flavor and texture.
