Salmon Sashimi with Ginger and Hot Sesame Oil

Rate & Review

(243 people have added this recipe to their favorites.)

Tim Cushman is a master at preparing raw fish. Here he dresses salmon with a little citrus-soy dressing, then tops it with fresh ginger and chives before bathing it in a hot sesame-oil mixture. The heat from the oil cooks the salmon just slightly, creating a luxurious texture and fragrance.

Pairing Suggestion

Cushman’s silky salmon sashimi can pair well with a substantial white or a crisp rosé. For a white, try a medium-bodied southern French blend like the focused 2007 La Vieille Ferme Blanc. If rosé seems more appealing, look for one from the south of France; for instance, the bright, strawberry-scented 2007 Domaine des Schistes Vin de Pays Catalanes.

Fantastic and really simple to make. I agree with YK you need more than suggested. I made as an appetizer for Valantines dinner for my wife and we shared the reciped amount. Paired with a Bordeaux Rose, great start ! ( entree was the pistachiopesto pancetta wrapped Rack of lamb with chantilly potatoes..also fab)

Really yummy and easy.  An impressive and elegant appetizer, although you have to make a lot more because people liked it so much they ate a lot more per person.  I made 3/4 lb of salmon for 7 people.
