Ingredients
- 12 pieces fresh sea scallops
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.125 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 whole thinly sliced serrano chili
- 0.5 cup microgreens (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
Directions
Step 1
Begin by ensuring that the scallops are fresh and clean. Rinse them under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Pat them dry gently with paper towels.
Step 2
Place the scallops onto a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice each scallop into three thin, even pieces. Arrange the slices neatly on a serving platter.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lime juice, coconut aminos, and olive oil until well combined. Add the sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, and whisk again to blend the flavors.
Step 4
Drizzle the citrus dressing evenly over the sliced scallops, ensuring every piece gets a touch of the flavorful mixture.
Step 5
Top the scallops with thin slices of serrano chili, adding as many or as few as you prefer based on your spice tolerance.
Step 6
Optionally, garnish the scallop sashimi with a sprinkle of microgreens and fresh cilantro leaves for added color and a hint of herbal notes.
Step 7
Allow the sashimi to marinate in the dressing for about 5 minutes at room temperature before serving to enhance the flavor.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Scallop Sashimi as a refreshing and elegant dish.
