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.
