Salmon and Tuna Crudo
This Salmon and Tuna Crudo is everything you crave in a bite! It’s fresh, silky, spicy, tangy and crunchy!
This Salmon Crudo recipe topped with a spicy tuna, the scallions, the serrano – this is a bite I find myself reeeally craving. I made this for my 96 year old grandma and I feel like it made her rethink her life choices. She now LOVES raw seafood and takes her steak medium instead of well done 😂❤️ She literally tells everyone about it and requests it often. If that’s not a win, I don’t know what is!

Psst….Some Secrets Before You Start
Placing the salmon in the freezer for 15-20 minutes will help you slice it easier.
You can pre-slice the fish and store in a plate covered with plastic wrap. I recommend doing this no more than 2 hours ahead.
The Perfect Pairings
Not sure what to pair with this dish - I got you 😉
A nice fresh Cucumbertini will pair incredibly well with this Salmon and Tuna Crudo sauce. For your main a crispy Chicken Milanese and Caesar Salad with a side of Syrian Rice is a great option. To finish out your night some caramelized Amaretto Peaches will be light and refreshing.
