Plus, it’s a fantastic way to showcase high-quality sushi-grade fish. Your family and friends won’t believe how easy it is to whip up this gourmet dish right in your kitchen! So, let’s dive into the step-by-step instructions and create something truly special together.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb sushi-grade salmon (thinly sliced)
- 8 oz white fish (like sole or flounder, thinly sliced)
- 2-3 sprigs of fresh dill (plus extra for garnish)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Plastic wrap for rolling
- Aluminum foil for wrapping
Instructions:
-
Prepare the fish:
- Start by flattening the white fish fillets to ensure they are as thin as possible. You can use a meat mallet or rolling pin between two sheets of plastic wrap for best results.
-
Assemble the layers:
- Lay out a rectangle of plastic wrap on a clean surface.
- Place the flattened white fish fillets on the plastic wrap and sprinkle with a few sprigs of dill.
- Layer the sliced salmon on top, and add a couple more dill sprigs to enhance the flavor.
- Finally, add another layer of white fish fillets on top.
-
Roll it up:
- Carefully use the plastic wrap to start rolling the fish into a tight log. Gently press as you roll to ensure it’s compact.
- Make sure the fish is tightly wrapped by twisting the ends of the plastic wrap.
-
Chill the Carpaccio:
- Once rolled up, wrap the log in aluminum foil to maintain its shape.
- Place the rolled Carpaccio in the freezer for 6 to 8 hours. This chilling process will make slicing easier.
- Serve:
- After 8 hours, remove the Carpaccio from the freezer and unwrap it. Using a sharp knife, slice it into thin pieces. Arrange the slices on a serving platter.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste and garnish with additional dill sprigs.
Tips:
- For a zesty kick, drizzle with olive oil and a splash of lemon juice just before serving.
- This dish is perfect for preparing ahead of time; simply slice and serve right before guests arrive!
- Pair with capers or thinly sliced radishes for added flavor and presentation.
