Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams fresh salmon belly
- 60 ml soy sauce
- 20 grams wasabi paste
- 50 grams pickled ginger
- 100 grams daikon radish
- 1 piece lemon
- 500 grams ice
- 4 leaves shiso leaves
Instructions
Begin by ensuring that your salmon belly is fresh and sushi-grade. Chill it in the refrigerator until you are ready to prepare it.
Using a sharp sushi knife, carefully slice the salmon belly into thin, even pieces around 1/4-inch thick. Be sure to cut against the grain for a tender texture.
Fill a small bowl with ice water and set it aside. Peel the daikon radish and use a mandolin or sharp knife to shred it into fine julienne strips. Immediately let them sit in the bowl of ice water to maintain crispness.
Cut the lemon into thin wedges.
Arrange the sliced salmon belly on a large, chilled platter. Create small mounds of shredded daikon from the ice water, draining off excess water, and place them decoratively around the salmon slices.
Garnish the platter with shiso leaves, placing them under or beside the salmon slices.
Serve the sashimi with sides of soy sauce, wasabi paste, pickled ginger, and lemon wedges.
Optionally, provide chopsticks and small sauce dishes for each person to mix a bit of wasabi into their soy sauce for dipping.
Enjoy the fresh, clean flavors of your homemade salmon belly sashimi!
