Ingredients

• 8 large Fresh sea scallops
• 1 Lemon
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Ponzu sauce
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
• 1 tablespoon Finely chopped chives
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 1 teaspoon White sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Ensure the sea scallops are very fresh and of high quality suitable for raw consumption. Rinse them gently under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, slice each scallop horizontally into approximately 1/4 inch thick slices. Arrange the slices on a chilled plate or a wooden sushi board for a traditional presentation.

Step 3

Zest the lemon over the scallop slices and then cut the lemon in half. Squeeze the juice of half the lemon over the scallops, ensuring they are evenly coated with the citrus flavor.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce and ponzu sauce. Stir until well mixed. This will serve as the dipping sauce for the sashimi.

Step 5

Place a small dollop of wasabi paste on the side of the plate to add heat to each bite if desired.

Step 6

Sprinkle the scallop slices with sea salt and finely chopped chives for an added burst of flavor and color.

Step 7

Toast the white sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes until they are golden brown and fragrant. Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the scallop slices.

Step 8

Serve immediately, allowing each guest to dip their scallop slices in the soy-ponzu sauce as desired.
