Sashimi is a fillet of raw fish or seafood cut into pieces. There are several options for slicing fish for sashimi, from very thin slices (no thicker than a sheet of paper) to slices about 1 cm thick. The most commonly used sashimi are salmon, tuna, trout, or carp. In today’s recipe, I will show you how to make salmon and tuna sashimi.
Ingredients
Fresh salmon – 100 g
Fresh tuna – 100 g
For filing:
Daikon radish – 1 pc.
Lettuce leaves – several pieces
Soy sauce – to taste
Wasabi to taste
Directions
Let’s start with daikon. If you don’t know, daikon is a Japanese radish. The daikon will not take any part in the preparation of sashimi, it is used to serve dishes. With the help of a vegetable peeler, we need to rid the daikon of the tough peel.
We grate the daikon on a grater for cooking carrots in Korean. The daikon must take the shape of a thin long straw.
Let’s go directly to cooking sashimi. The first sashimi in today’s recipe will be salmon. To prepare them, you need to remove the skin from the salmon. This is done quite simply with the help of a special fillet knife, but I do not have such a knife, so I remove the skin with an ordinary chef’s knife. In my opinion, the option is quite acceptable if everything is done carefully.
The upper lean part of the fish is best suited for making sashimi, so we can safely cut off the tesha and part of the peritoneum.
To achieve the maximum aesthetic effect, if necessary, remove the layer of fish from the side of the salmon, where the skin was so that the color is uniform.
Let’s move on to the most important point. This is sashimi slicing. Salmon is cut across the grain to accentuate its great texture. Choose the size of the pieces at your discretion. Most importantly, keep in mind that the pieces should be small to be convenient to eat.
Let’s move on to making tuna sashimi. It is important to note that when preparing tuna sashimi, unlike salmon, fish must be cut strictly in the direction of the fibers. This is since tuna meat is very tender, so if cut across the fibers, it can be easily damaged.
Serve salmon and tuna sashimi with daikon, lettuce, soy sauce, and wasabi.
