Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 large sushi-grade sea scallops dried, side-muscle removed
- 1/2 pound sushi-grade ahi tuna
- 1/2 pound sushi-grade salmon or Arctic char
- 1/2 small red onion finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil plus more to taste
- Zest of half lemon plus a squeeze of lemon juice, plus more to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper
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.
