Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces fresh sea scallops
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon wasabi paste
- 1 inch fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
Instructions
Start by patting the sea scallops dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. This will ensure optimal flavor and texture.
Using a sharp knife, slice each scallop horizontally into thirds to create thin, round pieces suitable for sashimi.
Arrange the scallop slices on a chilled platter or individual serving plates.
Roll the lemon gently on the countertop to prepare it for juicing, then cut it in half and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the scallop slices, ensuring each piece gets a light touch of acidity.
In a small bowl, mix the low-sodium soy sauce with the wasabi paste until well combined. Adjust the amount of wasabi to taste.
Peel and grate the fresh ginger, distributing a small pinch over each slice of scallop for an added kick of flavor.
Toast the sesame seeds lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are golden brown and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds evenly over the scallop sashimi.
Finely chop the fresh chives and sprinkle them over the dish for a fresh, herbal note.
Serve the scallop sashimi immediately to maintain freshness and enjoy the delicate blend of flavors.
