Slicing salmon

Cut salmon fillet in half lengthwise. Then remove the skin by making a horizontal cut.

Cut slices about 3-5 mm thick, oblique or straight, according to taste.

Note on Wakame Salad:

Seaweed salad is a food containing iodine. Excessive consumption may cause thyroid disorders. Therefore, please do not consume more than one serving (100 g) per day.

Notes on Sashimi Quality Designation:

Freshwater fish is unfortunately prone to parasites, so sashimi quality fish is always sea fish.

Tuna and farmed salmon are most commonly used, wild salmon is particularly expensive and thus rare in restaurants.

Bigeye tuna, yellowfin tuna, bluefin tuna, albacore tuna, bonito, and skipjack, like other types of fish, must be specially frozen to be safe to eat raw.
