Ingredients:

1

Salt

Directions:

1

With a very sharp knife, trim the gray fat off the skin side of the salmon; it has a strong flavor

2

Slice the salmon as thinly as possible

3

Make the marinade: Put the lemon juice in a small bowl

4

Gradually whisk in the olive oil

5

Season with salt and pepper

6

Arrange the salmon in an oiled dish large enough to hold the slices in a single layer

7

Scatter the celery over the fish, then spoon the marinade over all

8

Cover and refrigerate until the salmon is a little more than half "cooked", which you can tell by the change in color from rosy orange to pale pink

9

It should take about 3 hours, depending on the thinness of the slices

10

To serve, divide the salmon and celery among 6 plates, reserving the marinade

11

Put the sliced fennel and fronds in a bowl and drizzle with enough of the marinade to coat it lightly

12

Toss well and season with salt and pepper to taste

13

Divide the fennel among the plates

14

Spoon a little extra marinade over the salmon
