Begin by slicing the salmon fillet into thin pieces, approximately 0.5 cm thick and set them aside on a serving plate.
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sriracha sauce until smooth. Adjust the amount of sriracha to taste if more heat is desired and set aside.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a separate bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mash with a fork until smooth and creamy.
Spread a small amount of the avocado mix on top of each salmon slice, creating a thin layer.
Drizzle a few drops of soya sauce over the avocado-topped salmon pieces.
Now, using a kitchen torch, gently torch the top of the salmon until the surface slightly sears and has touch of charred spots, which should only take about 5-10 seconds per piece.
Once all pieces are torched, adorn each slice with a small amount of the spicy mayo mixture.
Finish by sprinkling finely sliced green onions and sesame seeds onto the salmon.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture. Enjoy your Keto Aburi Salmon!
