Instructions
Begin by preparing the eel fillet. Ensure it is thoroughly cleaned and pat it dry with a paper towel.
With a sharp, thin knife, slice the eel fillet against the grain into thin sashimi pieces, about 5mm thick. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar and lemon juice. Set this dressing aside.
Wash and peel the English cucumber, then cut it lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds.
Thinly slice the cucumber into half moons and place them in a mixing bowl.
Add the chopped fresh dill to the cucumber slices.
Pour half of the vinegar and lemon dressing over the cucumber salad.
Season the cucumber salad with half of the sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Arrange the eel slices neatly on a serving platter.
Drizzle the remaining dressing over the eel slices and sprinkle with the remaining sea salt and black sesame seeds.
Serve the eel sashimi with the cucumber salad on the side and enjoy immediately.
