Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels and place on a clean cutting board.

  2. Step 2

    Using a sharp knife, slice the salmon against the grain into 6-8 pieces, about 0.5 inch thick. Wipe the knife between cuts with a damp cloth.

  3. Step 3

    Arrange daikon slices and shiso leaves on a chilled plate to create a bed.

  4. Step 4

    Arrange salmon slices slightly overlapping on top of the vegetables.

  5. Step 5

    Place a small dollop of wasabi on the plate alongside pickled ginger.

  6. Step 6

    Pour soy sauce into a small dipping bowl and sprinkle sesame seeds over the salmon.

  7. Step 7

    Serve immediately while chilled, with instructions to dip each slice in soy sauce and wasabi as desired.
