Salmon, Tuna, and Swordfish Carpaccio

The salmon, tuna, and swordfish carpaccio is a raw fish appetizer, super quick and very easy to prepare. For the recipe, I used pre-sliced fish carpaccio (salmon, tuna, and swordfish) that you can find in the fish department, or you can ask your trusted fishmonger to slice thin pieces for you. Simply seasoned with extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt, white pepper, dill, and a few pink peppercorns. You can also serve it as a second fish course. Ideal to enjoy any time of the year.

Note

Before consuming raw fish, I recommend freezing it for 96 hours at 0°F (read here).

Storage

Once you have thawed the fish, if you don’t consume it immediately, store it without seasoning in an airtight container in the fridge for 24 hours.
