Ingredients
Scale
Salmon and Vegetables
- 8 ounces Sushi-Grade Salmon (Always ensure you use sushi-grade for safety in raw dishes.)
- 1/4 medium Red Onion (For a milder taste, swap with green onions.)
- 1 medium Cucumber (Choose any firm variety for the best results.)
- 1 tablespoon Capers
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds (Poppy seeds can be used for a twist.)
- 1 tablespoon Chives (Fresh herbs like parsley can work instead.)
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (Opt for extra-virgin for the best flavor.)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil (Optional, adds a nutty aroma.)
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce (Use tamari for gluten-free option.)
- 2 tablespoons White Miso (Red miso can be a great substitute.)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (Lime juice can also serve as an alternative.)
- 1 teaspoon Brown Sugar (Honey can be used for a warmer sweetness.)
Seasoning and Optional
- to taste Flaky Salt
- to taste Black Pepper
- 1 cup Sushi Rice (Optional base for a heartier meal.)
Instructions
- Preparation: Gather all ingredients including sushi-grade salmon, vegetables, and condiments to begin assembling the bowl.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, white miso, lemon juice, and brown sugar until smooth and well combined to create a tangy, savory miso dressing.
- Slice the Salmon: Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the sushi-grade salmon against the grain into very thin slices for the best texture and presentation.
- Assemble the Bowl: In a serving bowl, artfully arrange the salmon slices slightly overlapping. Add thinly sliced cucumber, sprinkle sesame seeds, chopped chives, and finely sliced red onion over the salmon.
- Add Dressing and Season: Drizzle the homemade miso dressing evenly over the salmon and vegetables. Season with flaky salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Garnish and Serve: Top the bowl with capers for a burst of flavor and serve immediately as is or over a bed of sushi rice for a more filling meal.
Notes
- Always use sushi-grade salmon to ensure it’s safe to eat raw.
- If you prefer a milder onion flavor, substitute red onion with green onions.
- Use tamari in place of soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
- White miso can be swapped with red miso for a deeper flavor.
- For a different texture, try adding avocado slices or pickled ginger as additional toppings.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest flavor and best texture of the sashimi.
