This one's a bit fancy but why not? The dressing ingredients are a bit of an investment the first time, but they go a long way: now that I have them, anytime I have a craving for this, I just need to go get fresh salmon and cucumber (I couldn't find spring onions the first time so I got a jar of dry-frozen chives – they work just as well and will last a while). I can easily make a dozen salads before I run out of anything else.
This comment [link] makes a good point about ensuring your fish is fresh before you eat it raw; personally I use my nose, but don't take my word for it, make sure it's proper to eat without cooking!
If it's hard to find reliable raw fish where you are, I recommend just ignoring this recipe There's really no point making it with cooked fish. But I have a smoked salmon recipe coming up
I'm the only one in my family who would try raw fish for this. and since I'm in a family of 8 (oldest of 6 kids @_@) and fish is expensive Im not really at liberty to experiment with the fish. *sobsforever*
Ill have to try a cooked-fish varition fo this, this looks like a very tasty mix-up for our fridays xD (we don't eat meat on fridays so Im looking for various fish/vegetable recipes)
Aw darn, that sucks! But I don't think there's a point in doing this with cooked fish, unless maybe you boil it so it doesn't develop a fishy taste... Dunno!
I f you don't mind me asking, can I find sesame oil, miso and sesame seeds in a regular grocery store? We don't have an Asian market around here. I would love to try this, it looks so divine. c:
I don't know what a regular grocery store is like in your area, but if I found them in a supermarket in Beirut, your chances are good! Any Asian section in a store should have them. I'd be very surprised if you didn't find sesame seeds easily as they're available worldwide, and if they sell soy sauce it's very likely sesame oil will be nearby, but you can always use olive oil if really stuck. Miso may be more difficult, but if they have boxes of just-add-water packets to make miso soup, you can use that.
