Main Ingredients

Pickling Brine

Garnish

Method

Preparation of Salmon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salmon

    Rinse the salmon fillet under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Make sure there are no pin bones left in the fillet.

  2. 2

    Season the Salmon

    Sprinkle the salt and sugar evenly over the salmon fillet and rub it gently into the surface. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Making the Pickling Brine

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, mix together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Stir until well combined.

  2. 4

    Marinate the Salmon

    Once the salmon has rested, place it in a shallow dish and pour the pickling brine over the top, ensuring the salmon is fully submerged. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for stronger flavor.

Serving the Dish

  1. 5

    Prepare for Serving

    Remove the salmon from the brine and pat it dry with paper towels. Slice it into thin pieces.

  2. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle the sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the sliced salmon. Serve chilled as an appetizer or part of a main dish.
