O Que Você Precisa Saber
- Cutting at a forty-five-degree angle against the meat fibers ensures tender slices that melt in the mouth. - The lemon should be added only at the moment of serving to prevent the acidity from cooking the fibers prematurely. - Strict sanitization of the cutting board and utensils ensures microbiological safety, which is essential when consuming raw.

Chef Tips
Variations
- Add slices of ripe avocado interspersed with the fish to create a creamy texture and a Brazilian accent. - Drizzle with ponzu sauce made of soy sauce, lemon juice, and olive oil with citrus zest for a carpaccio-style presentation. - Sear the four sides of the salmon block quickly over high heat for ten seconds before cutting the sashimi.
Substitutions
- Fresh salmon can be substituted with fresh ahi tuna, cleaned sea bass, or certified farmed tilapia. - The arugula can be swapped for fresh shiso leaves or translucent slices of Japanese cucumber. - Wasabi can be replaced with fresh grated and squeezed ginger to get a refreshing spicy touch.
How to Store
Because it is fish consumed raw, it must be served immediately after slicing. If there are leftovers, store in the refrigerator for up to twenty-four hours well sealed and use grilled or cooked; avoid consuming raw after this period.
Can You Freeze It?
Do not freeze the sashimi after seasoning with lemon and salt. Fish for raw consumption requires prior industrial freezing at temperatures below minus twenty degrees for disinfection; the common domestic freezer alters the fibers.
What to Serve With
Harmonize with lemon risotto, sweet and sour cucumber sunomono salad, gari (pickled ginger), and chilled dry sake.
Frequently Asked Questions
How to choose safe salmon for raw consumption?
Purchase fish with an inspection seal, bright eyes, firm flesh, and no strong odor; confirm with the fishmonger if the batch is suitable for sashimi.
Does the lemon placed on the salmon alter the texture of the fish?
Yes, the citric acid in the lemon denatures the surface proteins, making the meat opaque and cooked if it remains for more than ten minutes.
What is the recommended thickness for slicing sashimi?
Cut slices with a thickness between half a centimeter and eight millimeters, a proportion that provides soft chewing without being excessively thick.
Can I prepare sashimi slices hours in advance?
It is not recommended. Slice at most thirty minutes before serving, keeping the platter covered with plastic wrap over ice in the fridge.
