Salmon saku with arugula and grilled eggplant
A quick and simple recipe for a very fresh dish to combat the torrid summer heat. We pair it with a Trentino Müller Thurgau Vigna delle Forche 2017 Cembra Cantina di Montagna.
The term “saku” refers to the prime cut of a salmon or red tuna fillet cut into a single block with the skin trimmed off. It is ideal as a raw appetizer, since it has already been chilled.
Ingredients for 4 people:
450g salmon (chilled), 100g wild arugula, 1 purple eggplant, 1 Amalfi lemon, salt and extra-virgin olive oil as desired.
Directions:
Diagonally cut 16 slices from the salmon saku.
Slice and grill the eggplant and then season with EVOO and salt.
Dress the arugula with EVOO and the juice of half a lemon and salt to taste.
Prepare four plates with 4 slices of salmon on each together with some arugula and slices of grilled eggplant. Garnish with slices of lemon and trickle a little EVOO on top. Serve cold.
