• 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
• 1 inch, peeled and thinly sliced Fresh ginger root
• 2 stalks, finely chopped Green onions
• 1 sheet, finely shredded Nori sheets
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 0.5 piece, cut into wedges Lemon

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the eel fillets: ensure they are thoroughly cleaned and free of any bones. Pat the fillets dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, slice the eel fillets into thin slices approximately 1/4 inch thick at a 45-degree angle. Make sure each slice is uniform for consistent texture and flavor.

Step 3

Arrange the sliced eel on a large plate, fanning out the pieces slightly for an appealing presentation.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and wasabi paste until well combined. Adjust the wasabi to your preferred level of spiciness.

Step 5

Sprinkle the finely sliced ginger root over the eel sashimi to add a hint of fresh spice.

Step 6

Garnish the sashimi with the finely chopped green onions and a scattering of finely shredded nori for added flavor and nutrition.

Step 7

Drizzle a bit of rice vinegar over the eel slices to enhance the flavor and add a subtle tang.

Step 8

Serve the eel sashimi immediately with lemon wedges on the side, allowing diners to squeeze fresh lemon juice over the sashimi as desired for a burst of citrus freshness.

Step 9

Enjoy your high protein eel sashimi with the soy-wasabi dipping sauce as a perfect balance of flavor and protein.
