Steps:
- Lightly brush a sheet of plastic with olive oil and lay a piece of fish on it. Lightly brush surface of fish with olive oil and lay another sheet of plastic on top. Using the flat side of a meat tenderizer or a rolling pin, gently pound fish until it is very thin, 1/4 to 1/8 inch thick. Take care not to tear the fish; if it seems that it will break apart, stop when it's a little thicker than 1/4 inch. Repeat with remaining pieces. Gently unpeel top layer of plastic and then set it back over the fish. Place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Whisk together wasabi, vinegar, soy sauce, yogurt, and cream in a small bowl or measuring cup.
- Toss cucumber with rice vinegar and sesame oil.
- Cut each piece of flattened fish into smaller pieces and fan out on plates or on a platter. Using a pastry brush, brush each piece of fish with the wasabi sauce. Place a spoonful of the cucumber salad on each plate, garnish with shiso, cilantro or chervil and serve.

SALMON CARPACCIO AND HALIBUT TARTARE
Steps:
- To prepare the salmon carpaccio: Slice the salmon crosswise into 4 equal pieces. Paint each slice lightly with olive oil and place between 2 pieces of waxed paper. Using a meat mallet or wine bottle, with light tapping motions, very gently pound the salmon to about 1/16- inch thickness. Refrigerate in the waxed paper until ready to serve.
- Put the shallot, lemon zest and lemon juice in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add the capers. Whisk in 3 tablespoons olive oil.
- To prepare the halibut tartare: Dice the halibut as small as possible, put it in a bowl and put the bowl on ice.
- Just before serving, season the halibut with salt and pepper. Gently stir in the scallions, cucumber, jalapeño, olive oil and lime juice.
- For each serving, carefully peel one sheet of waxed paper from the salmon and invert onto a chilled plate. Remove the remaining waxed paper. Sprinkle the salmon lightly with salt. Drizzle with the lemon-caper oil and sprinkle with the chives and nasturtium petals.
- Spoon a 2-ounce mound of halibut tartare onto each plate, next to the salmon. Sprinkle with the dill.

Steps:
- To make salmon carpaccio, trim the salmon of any darker, oily parts and cut widthways into 4 pieces. Slice each piece of salmon from the top, nearly in two, like a butterfly. Place a sheet of plastic wrap on a heavy cutting board, brush with a touch of olive oil. Place salmon on board, brush with a little oil, cover with another sheet of plastic wrap and, using a wooden mallet or heavy pan, gently pound each piece of salmon until you have a large circular piece. Put the salmon aside on a plate. Repeat with the remainder of the salmon pieces. To make squid ink noodles, marinate the noodles, diced fennel and celery in the lemon juice and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Allow to marinate for 10 ? 15 minutes. Reserve. To serve lay the salmon on a serving plate. Dress the noodles nicely in the centre. Place some yabbies around the noodle stack. Garnish with the fennel tips, baby celery leaves, cracked pepper and salt. Drizzle with the leftover marinade from the noodles.
Tips:
- Use the freshest salmon possible. This will ensure that your carpaccio is delicious and safe to eat.
- Freeze the salmon before slicing it. This will make it easier to slice the salmon thinly and evenly.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the salmon. A dull knife will tear the salmon and make it difficult to achieve thin, even slices.
- Serve the salmon carpaccio immediately. This dish is best enjoyed fresh.
- Garnish the salmon carpaccio with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include capers, onions, lemon zest, and herbs.
Conclusion:
Salmon carpaccio is a delicious and healthy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are a fan of classic carpaccio or you are looking for something new and exciting, salmon carpaccio is sure to please.
