Sicilian Sashimi is an easy Italian appetizer made of tender slices of ahi tuna, salmon, and scallops finished with extra-virgin olive oil and lemon. This appetizer inspired by Found Oyster in L.A. and Swan Oyster Depot in San Francisco brings the elegance of a sushi restaurant to your home.

Instructions
Ahead of time, we like to freeze our fish for 15 to 30 minutes, this allows for sharper, cleaner cuts. Thinly slice your scallops, ahi tuna, and salmon 1/4-inch thick. Layer your sashimi on the platter in thin layers: add your ahi tuna, then next to it the salmon, and then the scallops.
Scatter over red onions and capers, finishing with olive oil, lemon zest, and cracked black pepper. Before ready to serve, finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
