Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Fresh sea scallops
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon Black sesame seeds
- 1 piece Radish
- 0.5 cup Microgreens for garnish
Instructions
Begin by rinsing the sea scallops under cold running water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Ensure they're thoroughly dry to enhance the flavor absorption.
Use a sharp knife to slice each scallop horizontally into thin, even slices. Aim for about 3-4 slices per scallop to maintain tenderness.
Arrange the scallop slices in a single layer on a decorative plate, ensuring they do not overlap.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the fresh lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, low-sodium soy sauce, and grated ginger. Whisk the ingredients until they are well blended into a smooth dressing.
Drizzle the lemon-olive oil mixture evenly over the scallop slices, ensuring each piece is lightly coated.
Finely chop the fresh chives and sprinkle them over the scallop sashimi.
Thinly slice the radish into paper-thin rounds and place a few on top of the scallops for a crisp, peppery contrast.
Sprinkle the black sesame seeds over the entire dish to add a delicate crunch and a toasted aroma.
Garnish with microgreens for a boost of freshness and color before serving.
Serve immediately as an appetizer or a light dish, ensuring to enjoy the fresh, delicate flavors that are best when served fresh.
