1. Begin by rinsing the fish roe under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer to remove any excess brine. Drain well and set aside in a small bowl.
2. Peel the cucumber and slice it thinly into rounds. Arrange the cucumber slices on a small serving platter in an overlapping pattern to form a base.
3. Rinse and drain the radish sprouts thoroughly. Place a small handful of the radish sprouts on top of the cucumber slices.
4. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and carefully scoop the flesh into a bowl. Slice the avocado finely and arrange the slices over the cucumber and sprouts.
5. Gently spoon the fish roe over the layered vegetables, ensuring even distribution for presentation.
6. In a small bowl, mix the fresh lemon juice with low sodium soy sauce. Drizzle this mixture sparingly over the fish roe and vegetables.
7. Cut the nori sheet into thin strips using sharp kitchen scissors and sprinkle it lightly over the top for added flavor and decoration.
8. Serve the sashimi with pickled ginger and a small dollop of wasabi on the side.
9. Enjoy immediately as a fresh and low-sodium alternative to traditional sashimi options.
