Ingredients
- For the ceviche
- 250g/9oz organic salmon fillet, skinned
- 2 tbsp rock salt
- 1 tbsp red chillies, finely diced
- 75ml/3fl oz pink grapefruit juice
- 1 tbsp lime zest
- 3 tbsp Kretes Extra Virgin Olive Oil

- 20g/¾ caster sugar
- 30 coriander leaves, finely chopped

Preparation method
- For the ceviche, lightly sprinkle the salmon fillet with rock salt. Transfer to the fridge and leave for 20 minutes.
- Remove the salmon from the fridge, carefully wash off all the salt and pat it dry.
- In a small bowl, mix the chillies, grapefruit juice, lime zest and juice together and add the sugar. Add the coriander at the last minute and toss to combine.
- Slice the salmon at an angle - each piece needs to be about 2-3mm thick.
- Lay four slices evenly in a straight line onto each serving plate.
- Spoon all but two tablespoons of the ceviche dressing over the salmon. Set aside for about 30 minutes.
- For the salad, soak the sliced fennel in iced water for 2-3 minutes, before removing and draining. Mix with the salad leaves and the reserved two tablespoons of the ceviche dressing.
- Place the fennel salad on top of the salmon and serve.
