Prepare the Rice:
- Begin by cooking the arborio rice according to package instructions until it’s tender yet slightly firm to the bite, typically about 15 minutes. Once cooked, set it aside.
-
Prep the Salmon:
- While the rice is cooking, prepare the fresh salmon by slicing it into thin, appetizer-sized portions.
-
Pan Fry the Salmon:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray or oil. Place the salmon slices in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have a nice golden-brown crust.
-
Prepare the Toppings:
- While the salmon is cooking, finely dice the cucumbers and shallots.
-
Sauté the Mushrooms:
- In a separate pan, sauté the porcini mushrooms until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
-
Assemble the Appetizer:
- Once the rice is cooked, spoon it onto a serving platter, forming a bed in the center.
- Arrange the pan-fried salmon slices on top of the bed of rice, creating an attractive presentation.
- Next, spoon the salsa between the slices of salmon, adding a burst of flavor and color to the dish.
- Scatter the sautéed porcini mushrooms over the rice and salmon, distributing them evenly.
- Sprinkle the finely diced cucumbers and shallots over the top of the dish, adding a refreshing crunch and piquant flavor.
- Finally, garnish the appetizer with a generous spoonful of black caviar, adding a touch of luxury and sophistication.
