200 g Sushi-grade salmon fillet4 tbsp Soy sauce2 tsp Wasabi paste50 g Pickled ginger (gari)100 g Daikon radish4 pcs Shiso leaves (optional)

Steps

Preparation

Prepare the garnishes: thinly julienne or grate the daikon radish. Wash and dry the shiso leaves. Prepare the soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger in small serving dishes.

Slicing the Fish

Gently pat dry the sushi-grade fish fillets with paper towels. Using a very sharp, long-bladed knife (ideally a yanagiba knife), slice the fish into pieces about 0.5 cm thick and 3-4 cm long. It's crucial to make each cut in a single, decisive motion, against the grain.

Plating and Serving

Arrange the fish slices artfully on a chilled plate. Place a small mound of grated daikon, a couple of shiso leaves, a dollop of wasabi, and some pickled ginger alongside. Serve immediately with soy sauce.

Extra Tips

► Always choose the freshest, sushi-grade fish from a reputable source.

► Always slice the fish against the grain with a single, decisive motion to achieve clean, beautiful cuts.

► Be creative with your plating! Arrange the fish slices and garnishes aesthetically on the plate.
