Instructions

Preparation: Gather all ingredients and have a sharp knife ready for slicing the salmon thinly.
Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, white miso, lemon juice, and brown sugar. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and well emulsified, creating a flavorful miso dressing.
Slice the Salmon: Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the sushi-grade salmon against the grain into very thin slices to maximize tenderness and presentation.
Assemble the Bowl: In a serving bowl, artfully arrange the salmon slices, slightly overlapping them. Add thinly sliced cucumber and finely chopped red onion around the salmon. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped chives evenly over the top.
Dress and Season: Drizzle the freshly made miso dressing generously over the salmon and vegetables. Season the bowl with flaky salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Garnish and Serve: Finish the bowl by garnishing with capers for a briny contrast. Serve immediately as is or over a bed of sushi rice if desired for a more filling meal.

Notes

Ensure the salmon is labeled sushi-grade to safely enjoy raw fish.
For a gluten-free dish, substitute soy sauce with tamari.
Use extra-virgin olive oil and fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
Adjust brown sugar or honey to your preferred sweetness level in the dressing.
This dish is best consumed immediately for maximum freshness and texture.
Can be served with sushi rice to make it more substantial.
