Ingredients

  • 250 grams Salmon fillet
  • 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 1 tablespoon Rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh chives
  • 10 grams Pickled ginger
  • 0.5 whole Lemon
  • 0.25 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by slicing the salmon fillet into thin slices, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and toasted sesame oil to create a marinade.

Step 3

Place the salmon slices in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and gently pat each piece dry with a paper towel.

Step 5

Season the salmon slices with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 6

Using a kitchen blowtorch, sear the top side of each slice of salmon until the surface is lightly caramelized. Be careful not to overcook; the goal is a lightly seared exterior.

Step 7

Chop the fresh chives finely and set aside. Slice the lemon into thin wedges.

Step 8

Arrange the aburi salmon on a serving platter. Garnish with a dollop of wasabi paste, a sprinkle of chopped chives, and a few slices of pickled ginger.

Step 9

Finish by squeezing a small amount of fresh lemon juice over the salmon before serving.

Step 10

Enjoy your Low Carb Aburi Salmon as a delightful and flavorful dish perfect for a quick, healthy meal.
