1lb450g fresh, high-quality salmon fillet (sushi or sashimi grade)
Salt to tasteoptional
Instructions
Prepare the Salmon: Begin by ensuring your salmon fillet is thoroughly chilled, which will make it easier to cut cleanly.
Check the fillet for any pin bones, removing them with tweezers if necessary.
Using a sharp knife, slice the salmon fillet against the grain into bite-sized pieces, about 1/2 inch thick. The key is to use a single, smooth motion for each cut to maintain the integrity of the fish.
Season (Optional):
Arrange the salmon pieces on a serving plate. If desired, lightly sprinkle each piece with a small amount of salt. The salt can enhance the natural flavors of the salmon without overpowering its delicate taste.
Serve: Serve the salmon sashimi bites immediately after preparing. They are best enjoyed fresh to experience the full texture and flavor profile of the salmon.
