Salmon Crudo with Lime Basil Oil



This salmon crudo with lime basil oil is a delicious, fragrant, and refreshing appetizer for any occasion. This salmon crudo recipe has a vibrant green basil oil is layered on a serving platter and then topped with buttery raw salmon.

Ingredients

  • 1poundsashimi-grade sushi salmon
  • 1bundle of fresh basil, about 1 cup packed
  • 1/4cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Juice of 1 small lime, about 1 tablespoon juice
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 to 2thinly sliced jalapeno, and Gochugaru, for serving

Instructions

  • Place your salmon in the freezer for at least 15 minutes, and up to 30 minutes, this will help when you slice your crudo.
  • In a blender, blend your basil, olive oil, lime juice, and salt. Adjust as needed with water to your preferred consistency. We like our consistency to be like a creamy vinaigrette, so about 1 tablespoon will do. Transfer to the fridge to chill until ready to serve.
  • Remove your salmon from the freezer and with a sharp knife carefully slice the salmon about 1/4-inch thick.
  • On a serving platter, drizzle your basil oil in one even layer, and then gently layer your sliced salmon over. Top with 1 or 2 pieces of thinly sliced jalapeno over each piece of salmon, finishing with a sprinkle of Gochugaru or chili flakes.
