Salmon Sashimi (with Costco salmon)

This is how I prepare salmon sashimi at home. While I am using Costco farmed salmon today, I cannot guarantee it is completely safe to eat raw. Consuming raw or undercooked seafood carries a risk of foodborne illness, so always follow proper food safety guidelines and use fish labeled for raw consumption.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 fresh farmed salmon (I'm using the one imported from Norway)
  • 1 tablespoon fine sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

For serving

Instructions
 

  • Slice the salmon fillet into 8 smaller portions. I did this by slicing once through the middle lengthwise, then cutting each half into 4 smaller portions. The exact size and shape of each portion does not really matter too much.

  • Combine the salt and sugar in a small bowl.
  • Apply a thin layer of the salt and sugar around each piece of salmon. Place the salmon pieces on a wire rack and refrigerate for 45 minutes.

  • Rinse the salmon pieces under cold water then pat dry with paper towels.
  • Slice the salmon into ¼-inch thick slices. I usually slice them at an angle so they look prettier.

  • Serve with soy sauce and wasabi and enjoy!
