Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice the 1 lb salmon fillet thinly against the grain, about 1/8-inch thick. Arrange slices on a chilled plate, overlapping slightly.

    Peel and slice the 1 avocado into thin wedges or slices.

  5. Step 5

    Scatter the red onion and avocado over the salmon slices.

  6. Step 6
