I like figuring out how I can combine and exchange flavors from different countries and cultures.
An example is break fast this morning.
Years ago, I used to eat regularly at an amazing sushi restaurant. Being a regular customer, they would serve you a complimentary little dish when you sat down.
It was raw salmon, thinly sliced cucumber, scallion and a splash of soy and toasted sesame oil and sesame seeds. It was AMAZING.
Good fresh raw salmon is hard to come by here and toasted sesame oil I don't really indulge in anymore, and soy sauce is an occasional indulgence. (to salt for my tastes these days)
So here's my recipe now;
Smoked salmon loin cut up in bite size pieces, diced cucumber, scallion and some tehina.
Mix together gently.
I do enjoy my raw fish and find some nice ahi tuna here from time to time. I think I wrote before that I often buy the frozen piece to save on cost, it's really very good especially made into a nice tartare. Simple and quick; tuna, cucumber, scallion, pepper, soy/tamari sauce
Have a great weekend everyone......love some, grill some and do something exhilarating!

SOG,

This also works with salmon by the way. If you can find some good sushi grade.
