Drizzle a small amount of the remaining dressing around the plate.

Finish with fresh herbs and a few chili slices.

Finally, add a light sprinkle of freshly cracked black pepper.

The result is colorful, dramatic, and incredibly appetizing.

And the crispy salmon skin or caramelized surface should always remain visible.

That’s the star of the plate.
