Instructions

  1. Place the fish fillet in the freezer for at least 48 hours to eliminate parasites, then take it out 20 minutes before working it.
  2. Finely slice the onion and rinse it under cold water to soften its sharpness. Drain it well.
  3. Cut the fish, still slightly cold and firm, into very thin slivers with a sharp knife.
  4. Arrange the slivers on a cold plate in rosettes, then scatter the onion over them.
  5. Season with a little coarse salt, the pepper and olive oil. Drizzle with lemon juice just before serving.
  6. Serve with warm potatoes and finely snipped chives.
