Here I present you my simple sashimi recipe. The fine fish slices come from the Japanese cuisine and have a long tradition there. Unlike sushi, the raw fish is usually served without rice.
Important: Only frozen fish with the Sashimi quality label is suitable for preparation. Please ask at the fish counter or order online accordingly.

Instruction
Supplements recommendation
First you should prepare the seaweed salad. To do this, please follow my Recipe Wakame Salad. Alternatively, you can buy the seaweed salad ready-made.
Unwrap salmon
Get plates or wooden boards ready and unwrap the salmon. Place the salmon fillet skin side down on a cutting board.
Check salmon
The skin side of the salmon fillet looks like this.
Slicing salmon
Cut salmon fillet in half lengthwise. Then remove the skin by making a horizontal cut. When doing so, cut between the skin and the fish fillet with the knife, turn the knife horizontally, hold the fish skin firmly under tension and cut off the skin with one pull. Cut slices about 3-5 mm thick, oblique or straight, according to taste.
Arrange sashimi
Drain and serve seaweed salad, optionally add fish eggs. Squeeze the gari and place on the plate, add the wasabi. Put the soy sauce in a small bowl. Place the salmon slices on the salad, sprinkle with sesame furikake + Arare and serve quickly. Enjoy your meal!

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.
