Dish history

Salmon is one of the richest and most nutritious fish, with its high content of omega 3, proteins, amino acids and healthy fats. In summer, when it's too hot to bake it or grill it, there's another way of enjoying it, without needing to eat it raw: Carpaccio! It is a way of 'cooking' fish or meat without having to use any heat source. The flesh is left to marinate in salt or lemon for at least a day; the use of these ingredients draws water from it and prevents the proliferation of pathogenic bacterias, making it safe to eat. If you don't have time to go through this process yourself, or you don't feel confident and don't want to risk poisoning your guests, you can use already marinated salmon, like the one Medusa makes. If you combine it with cream, leek, chives and lemon zest, like we suggest in this recipe, a mouth-watering delicacy is created!
