The classic Italian salmon marinade is simply salt and lemon. Simply prepare an emulsion of extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper, then let the salmon marinate in the emulsion for at least an hour. Serve it in slices or in small rolls filled with a delicate and fresh cheese.
If you love citrus
If you’d rather prepare a fresh salmon tartare instead of a marinade, try making this recipe. Prepare an emulsion with the juice of half a lemon, 1 cup white wine vinegar, salt, and pink pepper. Alternatively, you can marinate the salmon in orange juice mixed with oil and chives. Both the lemon and the orange will give the fish a refreshing flavor.
Apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar?
Let the salmon marinate for a few hours in either apple cider vinegar, which is a little more delicate, or balsamic vinegar, which is a bit stronger. Then season it with chives, fresh chili pepper, and extra-virgin olive oil.
Add more flavor with soy sauce
Prepare an emulsion with 4 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, soy sauce, and 1 Tbsp. sugar, which will balance the acidity of the lemon and vinegar. Avoid salt: The soy sauce already has enough.
