Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, grated ginger, olive oil, toasted sesame oil, low sodium soy sauce, mirin, and a dash of sriracha. Whisk these ingredients together until they form a smooth dressing, ensuring all flavors meld beautifully. Set aside.
  2. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the sushi-grade salmon into thin, even pieces, roughly ¼ inch thick. Arrange the sliced salmon on a large, chilled plate in a decorative pattern.
  3. Thinly slice the shallot and layer the slices over the arranged salmon.
  4. Drizzle the soy-sesame dressing generously over the salmon and shallots.
  5. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the dish, sprinkle with flaky salt and black pepper, and garnish with chopped cilantro leaves.
  6. Serve immediately to enjoy the best textures and flavors.
