For 1 large plate of carpaccio
- 300g (10.5 oz) fresh salmon fillets (previously frozen)
- juice and zest of 1 lime (or lemon)
- 1 tbsp pink peppercorns
- 1 shallot (finely minced)
- a drizzle of olive oil
- a few sprigs of dill (optional)
- On a cutting board, using a sharp smooth-blade knife, slice the salmon thinly. It must be very cold or you’ll have difficulty making thin slices. Arrange the slices on a serving plate.
- Pour the lime juice over, season with salt and pepper, scatter a few pink peppercorns, distribute the finely minced shallot and lime zest. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Just before serving, drizzle with olive oil and garnish with a few sprigs of dill.

This carpaccio is delicious served with lightly toasted bread slices.
