Ingredients
- 200 grams Fresh salmon belly
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
- 30 grams Pickled ginger
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Chives
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the salmon: ensure it's fresh, ideally sashimi-grade. Rinse it briefly under cold water and pat it dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
Slice the salmon belly into thin, even slices, about 5-7 mm thick. Place the slices on a serving plate. Keep them chilled in the refrigerator while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Step 3
Peel the cucumber and cut it into thin ribbons or julienne strips using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Arrange the cucumber strips next to the salmon belly slices on the serving plate.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and lemon juice to create a dipping sauce. Arrange the sauce in a small serving dish.
Step 5
Finely chop the chives and sprinkle them over the salmon for a subtle onion-like flavor.
Step 6
Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the salmon slices to add a nutty flavor and a bit of texture.
Step 7
Place a small amount of wasabi paste and pickled ginger on the side of the plate for additional seasoning.
Step 8
Serve immediately, allowing guests to dip the salmon slices in the soy-lemon sauce and pair them with a little wasabi and ginger for an extra kick.
