Ready to dive into this culinary adventure? Let’s go!
Step 1: Prep Your Salmon
Start by taking your sushi-grade salmon and placing it on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice the salmon into thin pieces, about 1/4-inch thick. And trust me on this: the sharper your knife, the better the result. You don’t want a battle with your fish—let’s keep it smooth!
Step 2: Make the Dipping Sauce
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce and the wasabi. Stir until it’s mixed well. If you like it spicy, feel free to add more wasabi. Pro tip: if you accidentally put in too much wasabi, just breathe and remind yourself it’s all part of the experience!
Step 3: Plate It Up
Grab a nice serving plate and artfully arrange your salmon slices. Sprinkle the green onions over the salmon for that pop of color and flavor. If you’re feeling fancy, throw on some sesame seeds. Now you’ve elevated this dish from simple to extraordinary in mere moments!
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Serve the salmon sashimi with pickled ginger on the side and don’t forget your dipping sauce! Grab some chopsticks (or a fork, no judgment here!) and dig in. The burst of flavor with each bite will leave you feeling gourmet.
Cooking Tips for the Perfect Salmon Sashimi
- Make sure your salmon is as fresh as it gets! If it smells fishy, it’s not the one for you.
- For an extra touch, add sliced avocado or a drizzle of sesame oil for richer flavors.
- Keep your knife cold for cleaner cuts. You can even chill it in the freezer for a few minutes beforehand!

That’s the joy of cooking—sometimes, it’s about the effort and the fun, not just the presentation!
