Ingredients
- 300 grams Salmon belly fillet
- 1 whole Lemon
- 60 ml Coconut aminos
- 1 thumb-sized piece Fresh ginger
- 10 ml Sesame oil
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 whole Red chili
- 1 whole Avocado
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
- 0.5 tsp Sea salt
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Start by chilling the salmon belly fillet in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes. This will make it easier to slice thinly.
Step 2
While the salmon chills, prepare your garnishes and dip. Thinly slice the green onions and red chili. Chop the fresh cilantro and set these ingredients aside.
Step 3
Grate the fresh ginger and juice the lemon, combining both in a small bowl with the coconut aminos and sesame oil. Mix well to create the dipping sauce.
Step 4
Remove the salmon belly from the freezer and use a sharp knife to slice it into thin sashimi pieces, roughly 1/4 inch thick.
Step 5
Arrange the salmon slices on a serving platter with even spacing.
Step 6
Peel and pit the avocado, then slice it thinly, adding it on or around the salmon slices on the platter.
Step 7
Sprinkle the salmon and avocado with sesame seeds and a light dash of sea salt.
Step 8
Garnish the platter with the prepped green onions, red chili slices, and fresh cilantro.
Step 9
Serve the salmon belly sashimi immediately with the prepared ginger-lemon dipping sauce on the side.
