Salmon Crudo
This raw salmon dish boasts the title of being the laziest yet most impressive dish you'll ever make. With its buttery texture, zesty citrus marinade, and thin slices of salmon topped with flaky salt and fresh herbs, it's a perfect appetizer that's ready in minutes.
This quick salmon crudo has become a go-to dish on Friday evenings- after a long week- and I don't have any energy but want something special to celebrate the start of the weekend.

- Slice the Salmon: Using a sharp knife, slice the salmon into thin, uniform pieces. You can slice it on a slight diagonal to create larger slices. Arrange the slices on a serving plate. Leave some space between each slice for the marinade to cover evenly.
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine the finely chopped shallots and rice wine vinegar. Let them sit for about 10 minutes. This will help mellow the sharpness of the shallots.1 shallots, 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar

- Marinate the Salmon: Pour the marinade evenly over the sliced salmon. Make sure each slice is coated with the marinade. Allow the salmon to marinate in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes.
