Salmon Tataki & Strawberry Miso
Tataki is a method of preparing fish in Japanese cuisine that involves searing the fish very briefly in a hot pan, leaving the fish mostly raw except for a thin outer layer. It is the perfect intro method for the aspiring at-home sushi chef who isn’t quite so daring as to use completely raw fish in their dishes. We’ve put together this Salmon Tataki and Strawberry Miso recipe for a simple yet incredibly flavorful appetizer, snack, or light meal. The addition of strawberry purée to the miso drizzle adds just the right amount of sweetness to this dish.
Enjoy!
