Ingredients

• 400 grams Fresh eel fillet
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (Low sodium)
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
• 50 grams Pickled ginger
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 2 stalks Spring onions
• 1 whole Lemon
• 1 pinch Sea salt

Directions

Step 1

Begin by placing the fresh eel fillet in the freezer for about 15 minutes. This makes it easier to slice thinly.

Step 2

While the eel is chilling, wash and peel the cucumber. Using a vegetable peeler, slice the cucumber into long, thin ribbons and set aside.

Step 3

Finely chop the spring onions and set aside for garnish.

Step 4

Once the eel is firm, remove it from the freezer and, using a sharp knife, slice the eel fillet at a slight angle into thin, even pieces.

Step 5

Arrange the eel slices neatly on a serving plate, laying them slightly overlapping for an elegant presentation.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, soy sauce, and wasabi paste until well combined. This will be your dipping sauce.

Step 7

Slice the lemon in half and sprinkle a little sea salt over one half. Gently squeeze a light drizzle of lemon juice over the eel slices, enhancing their natural flavor.

Step 8

Garnish the eel with the chopped spring onions.

Step 9

Serve the eel sashimi with cucumber ribbons on the side and a small mound of pickled ginger. Provide the dipping sauce in a small, shallow bowl to be enjoyed with each bite of eel.

Step 10

Enjoy this refreshing, low-carb eel sashimi as an appetizer or a light main dish.
