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.

    Thinly slice the 1/2 red onion into half-moons. Soak in cold water for 5 minutes to mellow the bite, then drain well.

  4. Step 4

    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

    Pour the lime sauce evenly over the salmon, onion, and avocado.
