Preparation:

  • Marinade: mix lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper.
  • Brush marinade onto plates.
  • Cut thin slices of salmon and lay them on the plates (brushed with the marinade).
  • Cut fine slices of fresh truffle with a truffle razor.
  • Season with salt and pepper, spread the truffle slices over the salmon and drizzle with marinade.
  • Cover with cling film and set aside in a cool place a few hours before serving.

Variation: You can use black summer truffle carpaccio instead of fresh truffle, depending on the season and budget.  You can also use a few drops white truffle oil.

Food and wine pairing: it goes wonderfully well with a Chablis or a Pouilly-fumé.  For truffle preparations containing olive oil, it goes very well with full bodied white wines such as a great Burgundy, a Hermitage, or a white Châteauneuf du Pape.
