Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salmon Belly

    Start by slicing the salmon belly into thin, bite-sized pieces. Ensure the pieces are uniform for even marination.

  2. 2

    Make the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, sesame oil, grated fresh ginger, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Salmon

    Place the sliced salmon belly in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Prepare Scallions

    While the salmon is marinating, finely chop the scallions and set them aside for garnish.

  2. 5

    Serve the Sake Toro

    After marination, remove the salmon from the refrigerator. Arrange the marinated salmon belly on a serving plate. Garnish with chopped scallions and serve with nori sheets on the side for wrapping.
