Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 pound Fresh unagi (eel)
- 2 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
- 1 whole Lemon
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi
- 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger
- 0.25 pound Daikon radish (optional for garnish)
- 1 sprig Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Ensure that your working surface, utensils, and hands are clean before starting.
Using a sharp knife, filet the fresh eel; this step is crucial for the best texture and flavor. If you're inexperienced, it might be best to have your fish supplier prepare it for you.
Slice the eel into thin strips, about 1/8 inch thick, working against the grain of the flesh for tender bites.
Arrange the eel slices neatly on a serving platter without overlapping them.
In a small bowl, combine the gluten-free soy sauce with freshly squeezed juice from half a lemon. Stir well.
Either use a microplane to grate a small amount of fresh wasabi or use pre-prepared wasabi, placing a fraction of it on the platter.
Peel the daikon radish and use a mandoline or sharp knife to cut it into thin julienne strips for garnish, if using.
Garnish the eel sashimi with julienned daikon radish and a small sprig of fresh parsley to add visual appeal and additional freshness, if desired.
Serve with pickled ginger on the side, which acts as a palate cleanser between bites.
Present the platter with gluten-free soy sauce mixture, allowing diners to dip the eel slices as they like.
