Sicilian Sashimi with Tuna, Salmon, and Sea Scallops Recipe

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 to taste

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Seafood: Gently pat the sea scallops dry and remove their side muscles. Slice the sea scallops, sushi-grade ahi tuna, and salmon (or Arctic char) into thin, sashimi-style pieces using a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts.

2. 2

   Chop the Aromatics: Finely chop half a small red onion and gather the capers. Mix these with the seafood slices to enhance the flavor profile.

3. 3

   Combine Ingredients: In a serving bowl or platter, delicately combine the sliced seafood with finely chopped onion and capers, ensuring even distribution.

4. 4

   Dress the Sashimi: Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over the seafood mix. Add the lemon zest and a generous squeeze of lemon juice for brightness. Season with freshly cracked black pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Adjust and Serve: Toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly without bruising the fish. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more olive oil, lemon juice, or pepper if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy at peak freshness.
