Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces fresh sea scallops
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 0.25 cup microgreens
Instructions
Ensure the scallops are fresh and have been stored on ice. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the scallops horizontally into three even pieces, aiming for uniform, paper-thin slices.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the fresh lemon juice, fresh lime juice, coconut aminos, grated fresh ginger, sea salt, and extra virgin olive oil. Mix thoroughly to create a marinade.
Arrange the scallop slices on a serving plate, ensuring they do not overlap to allow even marinating.
Drizzle the citrus and coconut aminos marinade over the scallop slices, making sure each piece is well-coated.
Allow the scallops to marinate for about 5 minutes, which will gently 'cook' them with the acidity of the citrus.
Garnish the sashimi with freshly chopped chives and a small amount of microgreens.
Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest flavors.
