Ingredients
- 200 grams Sashimi-grade salmon
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
- 20 grams Pickled ginger
- 1 slice Lemon
Directions
Step 1
Start by ensuring your sashimi-grade salmon is cold and fresh. Keep it in the refrigerator until you are ready to prepare it.
Step 2
Using a sharp knife, place the salmon fillet skin-side down on a cutting board. Hold the tail end with one hand and angle your knife diagonally towards the tail while cutting parallel to the board.
Step 3
Carefully slice the salmon into thin, even pieces that are roughly 0.5 cm thick. Aim for smooth, single-motion cuts to preserve the texture of the fish.
Step 4
Arrange the salmon slices neatly on a chilled plate.
Step 5
In a small dish, pour the soy sauce and serve with a small portion of wasabi paste on the side.
Step 6
Add the pickled ginger next to the wasabi for cleansing the palate.
Step 7
Garnish the plate of salmon with a slice of lemon for an optional zesty kick.
Step 8
Serve immediately to enjoy the sashimi at its freshest. Encourage enjoying with chopsticks, dipping each slice lightly in the soy sauce and pairing with a dab of wasabi if desired.
