Instructions
- Thinly slice shallot and place in a bowl with red wine vinegar and set aside to pickle slightly while you finish the recipe.

- Lay salmon filet on a cutting board horizontally. Using a sharp knife, slice salmon off the skin, thinly across the grain. Continue slicing, laying each piece on your serving dish as you go.
- Once the salmon is all sliced on the platter, drizzle with the crudo dressing, sprinkle with drained pickled shallots and season to taste with additional salt and pepper if desired.

Notes
- For optimum flavor its important to use fresh squeezed citrus juice and make sure to zest the lemon and orange before you cut and squeeze juice.
- Note: Ensure salmon is trimmed and deboned. Using a sharp knife, trim any bruised or discolored bits off. If salmon has bones, pull them out in the same direction they are sitting in using needle nose pliers or tweezers.
