Salmon Tataki
Salmon Tataki is a Japanese dish where the salmon is seared quickly on high heat and then chilled, leaving the inside raw. It's served with a citrus-based soy sauce and garnished with finely chopped spring onions or sesame seeds. It's a delicious and elegant dish!
Ingredients
- 1 salmon fillet
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp tablespoon oil (for searing)
- Soy sauce, for serving
- Lemon or lime wedges, for serving
- Finely chopped spring onions or sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper and cover them with oil.
- Heat the pan over high heat. Once it is hot, add the salmon fillets and sear each side for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on the thickness of the fillets and your desired level of doneness.
- Immediately after searing, plunge the fillets into ice water to stop the cooking process and chill the salmon. This helps to keep the inside raw. Once chilled, pat the salmon dry and slice it into thin pieces.
- Serve the sliced salmon with soy sauce and a squeeze of citrus from the lemon or lime wedges. Sprinkle with chopped spring onions or sesame seeds for garnish. Enjoy this delicious Salmon Tataki as a light appetizer or part of a sushi meal!
