This fresh and simple salmon sashimi recipe pairs delicate slices of raw salmon with a vibrant sesame and ginger dressing. Light soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, fresh ginger and spring onion create a bright, savoury accompaniment that balances the natural richness of the fish.

The quality of the salmon is especially important when making salmon sashimi at home. As the fish is served completely raw, always use very fresh, high-quality sashimi grade salmon intended for raw consumption.

Ready in just five minutes with no cooking required, this is an easy sashimi recipe for a light lunch, elegant starter or Japanese-inspired meal. The homemade salmon sashimi dressing brings together salty, tangy, nutty and aromatic flavours without overpowering the salmon.

Ingredients

Salmon Sashimi with Sesame and Ginger Dressing

2 x 180g sashimi grade salmon fillets
1 small spring onion very finely sliced
1 inch piece ginger, peeled and very finely chopped or pickled
2 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp sesame seeds, plus extra to garnish

Directions

Method

Step 1, Make the salmon sashimi dressing by combining the spring onion, ginger, light soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil and sesame seeds in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined.
Step 2, Remove the skin from the sashimi grade salmon fillets. Using a sharp knife, slice the salmon diagonally against the grain, then arrange the slices neatly across a serving plate.
Step 3, Spoon the sashimi sauce over the sliced salmon, making sure the dressing is evenly distributed. Finish with additional sesame seeds and serve the salmon sashimi immediately.
