Ingredients

• 500 grams Salmon fillet (skinless)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (low sodium)
• 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Ponzu sauce
• 2 tablespoons Chives (finely chopped)
• 20 grams Pickled ginger
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi
• 2 Nori sheets (cut into strips for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

1. Place the salmon fillet in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm it up slightly, making it easier to slice thinly.

Step 2

2. While the salmon is chilling, whisk together the lemon juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey in a small bowl to create a flavorful low-fat marinade.

Step 3

3. Remove the salmon from the freezer and use a sharp knife to slice it into thin, even slices, about 1/8 inch thick.

Step 4

4. Arrange the salmon slices in a single layer on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Step 5

5. Brush each salmon slice lightly with the prepared marinade, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 6

6. Heat a blowtorch or use an oven broiler set on high to gently torch or broil the surface of the salmon slices for about 1-2 minutes until the edges are slightly charred and the top is lightly cooked.

Step 7

7. Once the salmon is aburi-cooked, arrange the pieces on a serving platter.

Step 8

8. Drizzle with ponzu sauce, and sprinkle the chopped chives and nori strips as garnish to enhance flavors and add a visual appeal.

Step 9

9. Serve the aburi salmon with a side of pickled ginger and a small dollop of wasabi for an authentic touch.
