Method

Preparation of Fish

  1. 1

    Slice the Fish

    Using a sharp knife, slice the salmon, tuna, yellowtail, octopus, and squid into thin, even pieces. Aim for about 1/4 inch thick slices to ensure tenderness and a pleasant mouthfeel.

  2. 2

    Arrange the Slices

    On a chilled serving platter, arrange the sashimi slices in a visually appealing manner. You can create a fan shape or a simple line, ensuring that all pieces are visible and accessible.

Serving Preparations

  1. 3

    Prepare Accompaniments

    In small bowls, serve soy sauce, a dollop of wasabi, and pickled ginger. These will accompany the sashimi and enhance the flavors.

  2. 4

    Garnish the Dish

    Sprinkle sesame seeds over the sashimi for an added crunch and garnish with finely chopped chives for a pop of color.
