Steps

  1. Begin by ensuring that all seafood is sashimi-grade and fresh. Place the salmon and tuna in the freezer for about 15 minutes before slicing to firm up the fish.

  4. On a serving plate, arrange the sashimi slices and avocado wedges in an aesthetically pleasing manner.
  5. Drizzle lime juice over the sashimi and avocado for added flavor.
  6. Serve the dish with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side for dipping.
  7. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top and garnish with microgreens if desired.
