"From chef, Shin Tsujimura from Nobu Restaurant, NY, NY. This recipe is meant to be a starter (appetizer) to a meal, but it can easily become part of your main meal, where in this case it would serve less."

Step by Step Method

MAKE THE SALMON

Step 1

Slice the salmon into 16 equal pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper. Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a medium saute pan over high heat. Add half the salmon pieces and sear for 10 seconds or so on each side (cooking time depends on the thickness). Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and repeat with the rest of the salon. Set aside.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the vinegar, chile, garlic, and salt and puree until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the oil through the feed tube and process until thickened.
