Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Sashimi-grade salmon
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
- 20 grams Pickled ginger
- 1 slice Lemon
Instructions
Start by ensuring your sashimi-grade salmon is cold and fresh. Keep it in the refrigerator until you are ready to prepare it.
Using a sharp knife, place the salmon fillet skin-side down on a cutting board. Hold the tail end with one hand and angle your knife diagonally towards the tail while cutting parallel to the board.
Carefully slice the salmon into thin, even pieces that are roughly 0.5 cm thick. Aim for smooth, single-motion cuts to preserve the texture of the fish.
Arrange the salmon slices neatly on a chilled plate.
In a small dish, pour the soy sauce and serve with a small portion of wasabi paste on the side.
Add the pickled ginger next to the wasabi for cleansing the palate.
Garnish the plate of salmon with a slice of lemon for an optional zesty kick.
Serve immediately to enjoy the sashimi at its freshest. Encourage enjoying with chopsticks, dipping each slice lightly in the soy sauce and pairing with a dab of wasabi if desired.
