Ingredients
- 250 grams Fresh salmon fillet, skin removed
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh dill
- 2 pieces Radishes, thinly sliced
- 0.5 piece Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 sheet Nori seaweed sheet, optional
- 0.5 teaspoon Wasabi paste, optional
- 1 tablespoon Low sodium soy sauce, optional for dipping
Directions
Step 1
Start with a fresh salmon fillet. Ensure that the salmon is of sashimi-grade quality, which is safe to eat raw. Using a sharp knife, slice the salmon against the grain into thin, uniform pieces, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine lemon juice and extra-virgin olive oil. Lightly dip each slice of salmon in this mixture, ensuring they are coated evenly. This adds a light citrus flavor to the sashimi and enhances its freshness.
Step 3
Arrange the salmon slices on a serving platter in an even layer.
Step 4
Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper over the salmon slices to your tasting preference.
Step 5
Finely chop the fresh dill and scatter it over the salmon for a fresh, aromatic touch.
Step 6
Thinly slice the radishes and cucumber. Arrange them around the salmon slices on the platter to add a refreshing crunch and vibrant color.
Step 7
If desired, cut the nori sheet into thin strips and garnish over the salmon for an additional umami element, keeping in mind that it might add some sodium.
Step 8
Serve the sashimi with a small amount of wasabi paste on the side for those who enjoy a touch of heat.
Step 9
If preferred, serve the dish with low sodium soy sauce on the side as a dipping sauce, allowing each person to enhance flavors as per their taste preference, while keeping sodium content low.
