Knife Work 🔪 Pt. 3 Brunoise: Salmon Crudo 🥣🇫🇷
Recipe serves 2 👇
🔪 Brunoise: Start by separating the shallot layers and trimming the sides to create flat surfaces. Stack the layers, slice them into 3 mm (⅛ inch) strips, then turn and finely dice into small, uniform cubes. 🔪 The board and knife from I’m using are perfect for this: 67 layers of Damascus steel with a Japanese VG-10 core. Razor-sharp and built to hold a razor-sharp edge.

🥣 Sauce: Mix 2 tbsp soy sauce with 1 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp honey and a pinch of dashi powder or MSG. Crush 1 tbsp blueberries against the side of the bowl, I’m using Swedish blueberries. Add the brunoise shallots just before serving so they retain their crunch.
🍏 Fine dice: Start by cutting the apple into even slices about 5 mm (⅕ inch) thick. Cut the slices into thin strips, then turn and cut across to create small, uniform cubes.
🫑 Jalapeño: Thinly slice 1 small jalapeño.
🍣 Salmon: Slice 200 g sushi-grade salmon into pieces about ½ cm (¼ inch) thick.
🍽️ To serve: Arrange the salmon on a plate and grate over some lemon zest. Top with the diced apple and jalapeño, pour the sauce around the salmon, drizzle the sauce with good olive oil, and garnish with sprigs of dill.
Enjoy ❤️🔥
