Equipment

  • Sharp sashimi or chef's knife
  • Cutting board

Ingredients

  • 200 g sashimi-grade salmon
  • Soy sauce
  • Wasabi
  • Pickled ginger

Instructions

  • Inspect the fish for any bones or imperfections. Use tweezers to remove any bones you find.
  • Pat the salmon dry using a clean towel or paper towels.
  • Trim the edges if they are uneven or discolored.
  • Place the salmon skin-side down on the cutting board.
  • Slice the salmon at a slight angle against the grain into thin, even slices.
  • Arrange the slices on a plate in a circular or fan-like pattern.
  • Serve with small dishes of soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.

Notes

Ensure the salmon is sashimi-grade for safety. Dip the fish side of the sashimi into the soy sauce, not the rice (if you're having sushi).
