Ingredients
- 300g salmon sashimi
- 1 tbsp miso paste
- 1 tbsp sake
- 1 tsp wasabi
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
Instructions
- Step 1: In a small bowl, combine 1 tbsp miso paste, 1 tbsp sake, and 2 tbsp water. Use a wooden spoon to stir vigorously for 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes smooth and glossy, with no visible lumps. Tip: Adjust water quantity if the glaze is too thick — it should coat the back of a spoon evenly.
- Step 2: In another bowl, add 1 tsp wasabi and 2 tbsp mayonnaise. Use a fork to mash and blend until the mixture is homogeneous with no visible wasabi specks. Tip: For a smoother texture, briefly pulse in a blender, but avoid overmixing to prevent wasabi from losing its potency.
- Step 3: Place the 300g salmon sashimi on a chilled serving platter, arranging the slices in a fan-like pattern for visual appeal. Position small ramekins or dipping bowls near the platter, filling them with the miso glaze and wasabi mayo. Tip: Serve immediately after preparation to maintain the sashimi’s freshness and the glaze’s vibrant flavor.
