Salmon Crudo, Avocado, Jalapeño
Smoked Soy, Olive Oil, Lemon Juice, Microgreens
This simple yet sublime salmon crudo dish hits all the notes. Pristine raw wild Alaska sockeye is shingled with creamy avocado slices and spicy jalapeño then drizzled with smoked soy sauce, fruity olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Just a touch of flaky sea salt and a scatter of vibrant peppery microgreens complete the dish.
But it’s really the smoked soy that pushes this dish over the top — unexpected and distinctive. A few drops of all-natural hickory liquid smoke transforms plain soy sauce into something magical.
Seasoned sushi rice is served on the side, great for dipping in the intoxicating sauce and pairing with bites of salmon.
Cold sake makes a crisp and refreshing accompaniment to the salmon crudo’s bright, clean flavors of citrus, soy, and olive oil. The chilled sake mirrors that cool, clean mouthfeel, keeping the palate refreshed instead of weighing it down.
