Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 fillets Fresh eel fillet
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
- 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger
- 1 whole Lemon
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 4 leaves Fresh shiso leaves
Instructions
Begin by placing the eel fillets in the freezer for about 10 minutes. This firms them up and makes slicing easier.
Meanwhile, prepare a simple dipping sauce by combining soy sauce and rice vinegar in a small bowl. Set aside.
Once the eel fillets are firm, use a sharp knife to thinly slice them. Aim for slices around 1/8-inch thick.
Arrange the slices artfully on a chilled serving platter. This can help maintain the freshness of the eel.
Cut the lemon in half. Juice one half and drizzle the lemon juice over the eel slices evenly. Slice the other half into thin wedges for garnish.
Sprinkle a light touch of sea salt over the eel to enhance its natural flavors.
Add a small mound of wasabi paste and pickled ginger to the side of the platter.
Garnish the platter with fresh shiso leaves and lemon wedges. These not only add visual appeal but also enhance the flavor.
To enjoy, use chopsticks to dip the eel sashimi into the soy sauce mixture, along with a bit of wasabi if desired.
