Ingredients
Scale
Salmon and Vegetables
- 8 ounces Sushi-Grade Salmon
- 1 tablespoon Capers
- 1/4 medium Red Onion
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds
- 1 tablespoon Chives
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (extra-virgin recommended)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce (tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons White Miso
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Brown Sugar
Seasoning and Base
- Flaky Salt to taste
- Black Pepper to taste
- 1 cup Sushi Rice (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, white miso, lemon juice, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, creating a flavorful miso soy dressing.
- Slice the Salmon: Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the sushi-grade salmon against the grain into very thin, delicate slices to preserve texture and appearance.
- Assemble the Bowl: Arrange the salmon slices artfully in a serving bowl, slightly overlapping them. Add thinly sliced cucumber and red onion on top or around the salmon slices, then sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped chives evenly over the bowl.
- Dress and Season: Drizzle the homemade miso soy dressing over the arranged salmon and vegetables. Finish by seasoning with flaky salt and freshly ground black pepper to your taste.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with capers for a burst of briny flavor. Serve immediately on its own or spooned over prepared sushi rice for a heartier meal.
Notes
- Always use sushi-grade salmon to ensure safety when serving raw fish.
- For a milder onion flavor, substitute red onion with green onions.
- Feel free to substitute green cucumber varieties based on availability and preference.
- Poppy seeds can be used instead of sesame seeds for a different flavor profile.
- Fresh herbs like parsley can replace chives if desired.
- For gluten-free version, use tamari instead of regular soy sauce.
- The optional sushi rice base makes the dish more filling and can be prepared ahead of time.
- Serve immediately after assembling to maintain freshness and texture.
