Begin by ensuring that the Kingfish fillet is of sushi-grade quality. Pat the fillet dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Use a sharp knife to slice the Kingfish into thin pieces, approximately 1/4 inch thick. For best results, slice at a slight angle to maximize the surface area of each piece.
Arrange the Kingfish slices neatly on a serving platter without overlapping them.
Grate the fresh ginger finely using a microplane or grater, and set aside.
Finely chop the fresh chives and spread them over the arranged Kingfish slices for flavor and a bit of color.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the Kingfish slices uniformly to add a fresh citrus flavor.
Peel and pit the avocado, then slice it into thin wedges. Arrange the avocado slices alongside the Kingfish on the platter.
Slice the cucumber into thin ribbons using a vegetable peeler or sharp knife. Add these to the platter to provide a refreshing crunch.
In a small dipping bowl, pour the low sodium soy sauce. Gingerly add some of the grated ginger to the soy sauce for a hint of spicy zest.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the entire platter for a nutty aroma and a bit of texture.
Serve the platter of Kingfish sashimi immediately with the ginger soy dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy as a delicate, savory, and heart-healthy appetizer.
