What you'll need
- 100g salmon sashimi grade
- 50g pickled radish
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 to 2 cm garlic paste
- 1 to 2 cm wasabi paste
- 2 pinches chopped green onion
- Black pepper to taste
- Salmon roe as desired
How to make it
Cut the salmon and pickled radish into small bite sized cubes. In a bowl, mix together sesame oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic paste, and wasabi until well combined.
Add the salmon, pickled radish, and green onion into the sauce. Toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
Finish with black pepper, plate it up, and top with salmon roe if desired.
Tips
- Tube garlic works great, but freshly grated garlic gives it an even deeper aroma and stronger flavor.
- I highly recommend adding a generous amount of black pepper. It sharpens the overall flavor and gives the dish a nice kick.
- Topping it with salmon roe at the end makes it look more luxurious and adds a fun pop of texture.
