Ingredients
- 2 fillets Fresh eel fillet
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
- 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger
- 1 whole Lemon
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 4 leaves Fresh shiso leaves
Directions
Step 1
Begin by placing the eel fillets in the freezer for about 10 minutes. This firms them up and makes slicing easier.
Step 2
Meanwhile, prepare a simple dipping sauce by combining soy sauce and rice vinegar in a small bowl. Set aside.
Step 3
Once the eel fillets are firm, use a sharp knife to thinly slice them. Aim for slices around 1/8-inch thick.
Step 4
Arrange the slices artfully on a chilled serving platter. This can help maintain the freshness of the eel.
Step 5
Cut the lemon in half. Juice one half and drizzle the lemon juice over the eel slices evenly. Slice the other half into thin wedges for garnish.
Step 6
Sprinkle a light touch of sea salt over the eel to enhance its natural flavors.
Step 7
Add a small mound of wasabi paste and pickled ginger to the side of the platter.
Step 8
Garnish the platter with fresh shiso leaves and lemon wedges. These not only add visual appeal but also enhance the flavor.
Step 9
To enjoy, use chopsticks to dip the eel sashimi into the soy sauce mixture, along with a bit of wasabi if desired.
