Next, you whip up a quick dressing; a little soy sauce here, a dash of citrus there.

Think of plating this masterpiece as an art form. Arrange the salmon in an elegant spiral, garnish with lush avocado slices that contrast beautifully with the pink of the fish, and shower everything in those crunchy sesame seeds. The colors pop, the textures clash, and I promise your dining experience will kick off with delicious aromas that beckon everyone to the table.

How to Store Raw Salmon Sashimi

If you happen to have any leftovers (unlikely but hey, it could happen!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. I wouldn’t recommend freezing, as it could alter the delicate texture of the salmon. Best enjoyed fresh!
