Directions

  1. 1.

    Slice salmon against the grain into medium-thin slices. Arrange the slices on a serving plate and sprinkle with kosher salt

  2. 2.

    Add halved pepper drops, thinly sliced shallot, and drizzle with olive oil (we like Graza olive oil)

  3. 3.

    Sprinkle with fresh coriander blossom, black lime powder, espelette pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Finish with maldon salt and enjoy!

Recipe Note

Tasting Notes:

Each bite of this Salmon Crudo is a revelation — the freshness of the fish, the tangy depth from the black lime, the aromatic coriander blossoms, and the gentle heat of espelette pepper create a balanced yet complex flavor profile. The textures, too, play a pivotal role; the silky smoothness of the salmon against the subtle crunch of salt and shallots make every mouthful a delight.

Pairing Suggestions:

Pair this dish with a crisp, dry white wine like a Vermentino or a Sauvignon Blanc. The acidity and minerality of these wines complement the fatty richness of the salmon and elevate the spice and citrus notes in the dish.  Look for an organic, no sulfates wine.  Dry Creek Wines has good options.

Narrative on Crudo Di Pesce:

Crudo di Pesce has long been a staple in the Mediterranean diet, revered for its straightforward approach that highlights the quality and taste of the seafood. Historically, fishermen along the coast would consume the catch of the day fresh out of the sea, savoring the pure taste of fish with a simple dressing of olive oil, citrus, and herbs. This tradition speaks to a philosophy of eating that respects and celebrates the ingredient's natural quality, freshness, and flavor — a testament to a diet that's not only delicious but also inherently healthful, full of omega-3 fatty acids, lean proteins, and a variety of nutrients.
