Ingredients
- 400 grams fresh squid (cleaned, bodies and tentacles separated)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 stalks green onions (thinly sliced)
- 1 whole avocado (thinly sliced)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional, paleo-compliant brand)
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt (to taste)
Directions
Step 1
1. Begin by ensuring the squid is properly cleaned. If not already done, remove the innards, cartilage, and skin from the squid bodies, and separate the tentacles. Rinse thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
2. Using a sharp knife, slice the squid bodies into thin, even strips approximately 2-3mm wide. Arrange the strips neatly on a chilled plate.
Step 3
3. If using tentacles, trim off the hard beak at the center and arrange them alongside the sliced squid bodies.
Step 4
4. In a small bowl, combine the coconut aminos, lemon juice, grated ginger, and sesame oil (if using). Whisk to blend the dipping sauce thoroughly.
Step 5
5. Garnish the plate with thinly sliced avocado and sprinkle the green onions over the squid for a fresh, bright presentation.
Step 6
6. Lightly sprinkle the squid with a pinch of sea salt to enhance its natural flavor.
Step 7
7. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce on the side. Use chopsticks to enjoy the squid sashimi along with garnishes for a paleo-friendly, refreshing seafood dish.
