Mixed Green Salad

Begin by selecting a variety of fresh, crisp greens such as lettuce, spinach, and arugula. Toss them gently with a light vinaigrette or your choice of dressing, aiming for a coating that enhances but doesn't overwhelm the salad's natural flavors.

Baked Fish (Salmon)

Marinate the salmon fillet in a mixture of soy sauce, mirin, and a touch of wasabi for an added kick. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through but still moist. Finish by garnishing with freshly chopped herbs.

Maki Rolls

Prepare sushi rice by seasoning cooked short-grain rice with a mix of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Spread the rice thinly over a sheet of nori (seaweed), leaving a small margin at the top. Place fillings such as slices of tuna, salmon, avocado, or cucumber along the bottom edge, then roll tightly using a bamboo mat. Slice into 6-8 pieces.

Sashimi (Salmon)

Choose fresh, high-quality salmon for the best flavor and texture. Slice the salmon into thin, even pieces and arrange them neatly on the plate. Serve with wasabi and soy sauce for dipping.

Ginger and Wasabi

Serve freshly pickled ginger and wasabi on the side as condiments. The ginger can help cleanse the palate between different types of sushi, while the wasabi adds a spicy kick that complements the flavors of the fish.
