Make the Dressing:
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, shallot, and honey. Stir in grated ginger if using.

Arrange salmon slices in a single layer on a chilled plate or shallow bowl.
Spoon dressing evenly over the salmon.
Garnish & Serve:
Sprinkle with sea salt and cracked black pepper.
Top with scallions and garnish with microgreens or edible flowers, if desired.
