INGREDIENTS

  • 1 pound fresh lionfish*
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons drained brined capers
  • Large handful of fresh arugula or watercress

GUIDE / INSTRUCTIONS

For the Lionfish Carpaccio
  • Clean and gut your fish if you haven’t already. When fish is this fresh, it will be extra warm and buttery, so to cut it on as wide an angle as possible, place the fish in the freezer for 20 minutes (throw a plate in there, too). This will make it much easier to cut the fish very thinly without ripping it. Thinly slice the fish and place the slices on the cold plate (the plate helps keep the fish cold!). Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the fish and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Top with the capers and arugula. Enjoy immediately.
