  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 small shallot, finely minced

  • 1/2 tsp honey (optional, for sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Make the Dressing:
    In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, shallot, and honey. Stir in grated ginger if using.

  2. Assemble the Crudo:

    • Arrange salmon slices in a single layer on a chilled plate or shallow bowl.

    • Spoon dressing evenly over the salmon.

  3. Garnish & Serve:

    • Sprinkle with sea salt and cracked black pepper.

    • Top with scallions and garnish with microgreens or edible flowers, if desired.

Notes

  • For the freshest taste, use sushi- or sashimi-grade salmon only.

  • Serve with chilled sake or a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc.

  • This dish is best assembled just before serving to maintain the salmon’s silky texture.
