Yuzu marinade with salmon and cucumber

Today’s dish is a marinade with salmon and cucumber.

This time the main dish has a strong habit.
The soup is a healthy cream of edamame soup.

Speaking of side dishes that line up with them comfortably.
it’s an appetizer that you can eat like a salad.
（I will introduce the main dish in the next blog!）

Cucumber is used like a bowl.
To make a ring, cut it into slices with a thickness of about 1mm.

The wider the cucumber, the more beautiful it will be when served.
I want one slice per person, but I want you to slice it
until you get a reasonable width.

And this time, I wanted to make a colorful appetizer
using salmon and cucumber, so I chose red onion and
black olives for the other vegetables.

Red onion that adds brilliance to the dish.
Encouraging ingredients that also accent the taste.
It’s not as spicy as white onion, so you can eat it
without soaking it in water, so be sure to choose
red onion as an appetizer like this one!

By the way, most of the marinated fish are white fish.
This is because the action of vinegar causes the protein
to turn white and spoil its beautiful.
Salmon is actually classified as white fish,
but if it is soaked in marinade for a long time,
it will become whitish.

So, just mix with the marinade just before eating or
degrease amount of vinegar or citrus juice.
This time I wanted to use salmon, so I devised
the procedure to make it.
Let’s carry it to a plate with good color♪

I always think that it takes a little effort
to get a beautiful finish, so I focused on the details.

Finally, the marinated liquid.
This time, I mixed yuzu and garlic to make it taste
like an adult that goes well with alcoholic beverages.
Blended into this theme, it goes well with alcoholic beverages.

Season when there is no appetite.
It’s a punchy appetizer with garlic and yuzu pepper,
and it would be nice if you could recharge with energy.
