Ingredients
Ponzu Sauce
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- ⅓ cup lemon juice or a mix of lime lemon, and/or orange juice
- 1 Tablespoon mirin
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- ⅓ cup water
- 2 tbsp katsuobushi or ½ teaspoon dashi powder
- 1 sheet of nori or kombu
Salmon Tataki
- 1 lb salmon filet skinless, boneless, partially frozen
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
- ¾ teaspoon sea salt
Optional Garnishes
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- ½ cup sliced daikon or radish
- 2 tablespoon slivered pickled ginger
- ¼ c slivered green onions
- 1 teaspoon slivered chili pepper
- ½ c cooked edamame
Instructions
Make Ponzu Sauce
- Combine ponzu sauce ingredients in a jar with a tight lid, and shake to mix. Cover and store in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, strain ponzu through a mesh sieve (or tea strainer) and set aside while preparing the salmon.
Sear Salmon
- To sear salmon, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot enough to sizzle when a drop of water hits it, add the salmon filet or salmon pieces.
- Sear each side quickly, just 30-60 seconds per side, turning it gently with tongs.
- Once all sides are seared, remove it to a cutting board to rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Slice across the grain into ¼-½ inch thick slices. Gently arrange in single or slightly overlapping layers on a platter or individual plates.
- Garnish with toasted sesames seeds, scallions and any other desired garnishes and serve right away with ponzu sauce.
Notes
- Make sure your salmon is very cold or even partially frozen in the middle before frying to prevent overcooking. Once cooked, let it rest for 5-10 minutes to assist in slicing.
- If you prefer, the salmon can be seared on a hot grill or under a broiler instead of pan fried.
