Ingredients
Scale
Salmon and Vegetables
- 8 ounces Sushi-Grade Salmon
- 1 tablespoon Capers
- 1/4 medium Red Onion
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds
- 1 tablespoon Chives
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 2 tablespoons White Miso
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Brown Sugar
- Flaky Salt, to taste
- Black Pepper, to taste
Base (Optional)
- 1 cup Sushi Rice
Instructions
- Preparation: Gather all ingredients and have your sushi-grade salmon ready. Start by thinly slicing the salmon with a sharp knife against the grain to ensure tender pieces.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, white miso, lemon juice, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a flavorful miso-soy dressing.
- Prepare the Vegetables: Slice the cucumber into thin rounds and finely chop the red onion and chives to add fresh texture and flavor to your bowl.
- Assemble the Bowl: In a serving bowl, artfully arrange the thin salmon slices, slightly overlapping them for visual appeal. Add the cucumber slices and sprinkle on the sesame seeds, chopped chives, and red onion evenly over the salmon.
- Add the Dressing and Season: Drizzle the homemade miso dressing over the salmon and vegetables, then season with flaky salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your taste preferences.
- Garnish and Serve: Top the bowl with capers for a burst of tangy flavor. Serve immediately on its own or over a bed of sushi rice for a more filling meal.
Notes
- Always use sushi-grade salmon for safety when consuming raw fish.
- You can replace the red onion with green onions for a milder onion flavor.
- Substitute white miso with red miso for a deeper umami taste.
- Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
- Sushi rice is optional but adds heartiness to the bowl.
- Sesame oil is optional but adds a rich nutty aroma to the dressing.
