Ingredients
- 12 oz Sashimi-grade Salmon sliced into sashimi-sized pieces
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon calamansi juice optional, about 3–4 calamansi
- ½ cup water
- ½ tablespoon sugar adjusted to taste
- ½-1 teaspoon wasabi
- ¼ small red onion finely chopped
- 1-2 Thai red chilies finely chopped, adjusted to your preferred spice level
- 4-5 Cloves garlic finely minced
- ½ lemon thinly sliced or cut into small wedges
- ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
For Serving
- Hot steamed rice
- Roasted seaweed
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, fish sauce, lemon juice, calamansi juice, water, sugar, and wasabi. Mix well until the sugar has dissolved.
- Add the chopped red onion, Thai red chilies, minced garlic, sliced lemon, and plenty of fresh cilantro. Mix everything together and let the sauce sit for 5–10 minutes so the flavours can develop.
- Arrange the sushi-grade salmon sashimi in a shallow serving bowl or on a plate.
- Pour the Thai-inspired sauce and aromatics generously over the salmon.
- Serve immediately on its own, or enjoy it with hot steamed rice and roasted seaweed.
Notes
Tip: Taste the sauce before pouring it over the salmon. Add more sugar if it is too tart, more lemon or calamansi for extra acidity, or more Thai chili for additional heat.
