Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 ounces Sushi-Grade Salmon (Always ensure you use sushi-grade for safety in raw dishes.)
- 1 medium Cucumber (Choose any firm variety for the best results.)
- 1/4 medium Red Onion (For a milder taste, swap with green onions.)
- 1 cup Sushi Rice (Optional base for a heartier meal.)
Garnishes and Toppings
- 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 Ingredients
- 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.)
- to taste Flaky Salt
- to taste Black Pepper
Instructions
- Preparation. Gather all ingredients and have sushi-grade salmon properly thawed and ready. If using sushi rice, cook according to package instructions and set aside to cool slightly.
- 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, creating a flavorful miso-soy dressing.
- Slice the Salmon. Using a very sharp knife, carefully slice the sushi-grade salmon against the grain into very thin, sashimi-style slices to ensure tenderness and optimal texture.
- Assemble the Bowl. In a serving bowl, neatly arrange the salmon slices overlapping slightly. Add thinly sliced cucumber and red onion around or atop the salmon to add freshness and crunch.
- Add Garnishes and Dress. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped chives evenly over the bowl. Drizzle the prepared miso dressing generously over the salmon and vegetables. Season lightly with flaky salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Final Touch and Serve. Garnish with capers for a burst of briny flavor. Serve immediately as is or over a bed of sushi rice for a more filling meal.
Notes
- Always use sushi-grade salmon for safety when consuming raw fish.
- If you prefer a milder onion flavor, substitute red onion with green onions.
- For a gluten-free version, replace soy sauce with tamari.
- Adjust sweetness in the dressing by substituting brown sugar with honey if desired.
- This recipe is best enjoyed fresh and is ideal for a quick, healthy meal.
