Start by placing the salmon fillet in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes. This will firm it up slightly and make it easier to slice thinly.
While the salmon is chilling, prepare the accompaniments. Finely chop half a cucumber into julienne strips, slice the spring onion thinly, and cut the avocado into thin slices.
Take the lemon, cut it in half, and extract the juice from one half.
Remove the salmon from the freezer and place it on a clean cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice the salmon against the grain into thin, even slices.
Arrange the sliced salmon neatly on a serving platter.
Drizzle the salmon slices lightly with soy sauce and lemon juice to enhance the flavor.
Beside the salmon, arrange the cucumber strips and avocado slices decoratively.
Add a small serving of wasabi paste and pickled ginger to the side of the salmon.
Sprinkle thinly sliced spring onion over the top of the entire dish, adding extra flavor and color.
Finish by lightly sprinkling sesame seeds over the salmon for a nutty contrast.
Serve the dish immediately to maintain the freshness of the ingredients.
