This is a light recipe with low fat; it is based on raw marinated paper-thin slices of salmon fillet. Cooking isn't necessary.
Choose very fresh salmon fillet and prepare the recipe in the same day. Remove its skin and bones. Cut it into paper-thin slices and arrange them in a large serving plate. Sprinkle them with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Let them marinate for 15-20 minutes or more according to your taste. At this point drain every slice and put in another serving plate. Dress the salmon slices with the olive oil and serve.

Note

- It's a cold dish; you can serve it as a second course or an appetizer (in this case it serves at least 8 people) or in a buffet.
- If you prefer, you can prepare a cold sauce made with 4 teaspoons mustard and 200 ml (7 fl oz) single cream (light cream) and dress your salmon with this sauce instead of olive oil.
- If you want to know more on fish, how to clean and cook it, consult our cookery school!

What's the right wine?

Our suggestion is: Pinot Bianco dell'Alto Adige (white wine from Trentino - Italy) if you serve it without sauce, Pinot Grigio del Trentino (white wine from Italy) if you serve it with the sauce.
