Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh squid, cleaned
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, finely grated
- 1 clove Garlic, finely minced
- 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (optional for garnish, Whole30-compliant brands only)
- 1 pinch Sea salt
- 1 small Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Avocado, sliced
Directions
Step 1
Start by cleaning the fresh squid thoroughly. Remove the skin, beak, internal organs, and cartilage. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
With a very sharp knife, slice the squid into thin strips or rings, approximately 3–5 mm thick, for the sashimi.
Step 3
Arrange the squid slices on a chilled plate or serving platter in an even layer.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together lemon juice, coconut aminos, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create a Whole30-compliant dipping sauce.
Step 5
Drizzle the squid sashimi lightly with the dipping sauce. Reserve some sauce for serving at the table, if desired.
Step 6
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the sashimi and garnish with thinly sliced green onions.
Step 7
Serve the squid sashimi alongside thinly sliced cucumber and avocado for freshness and extra nutrients.
Step 8
For optional garnish, drizzle a very small amount of Whole30-compliant sesame oil over the sashimi to enhance flavor (optional but recommended).
Step 9
Serve immediately while the dish is chilled and fresh. Pair with sparkling water or herbal tea for a refreshing Whole30-approved meal.
