Ingredients
- 8 pieces fresh sea scallops
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon wasabi paste
- 1 inch fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
Directions
Step 1
Start by patting the sea scallops dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. This will ensure optimal flavor and texture.
Step 2
Using a sharp knife, slice each scallop horizontally into thirds to create thin, round pieces suitable for sashimi.
Step 3
Arrange the scallop slices on a chilled platter or individual serving plates.
Step 4
Roll the lemon gently on the countertop to prepare it for juicing, then cut it in half and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the scallop slices, ensuring each piece gets a light touch of acidity.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the low-sodium soy sauce with the wasabi paste until well combined. Adjust the amount of wasabi to taste.
Step 6
Peel and grate the fresh ginger, distributing a small pinch over each slice of scallop for an added kick of flavor.
Step 7
Toast the sesame seeds lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are golden brown and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds evenly over the scallop sashimi.
Step 9
Finely chop the fresh chives and sprinkle them over the dish for a fresh, herbal note.
Step 10
Serve the scallop sashimi immediately to maintain freshness and enjoy the delicate blend of flavors.
