This is salmon 'sashimi', but oh-so soft. By ‘cooking’/marinating the salmon at only 30ºC with just a touch of sesame oil, you’re having it in just about the purest form you can (aside from having it simply raw). Though you always want to get the best quality raw fish you can, it's not always possible for a home cook. With that in mind, this recipe gives the humble, everyday salmon a gourmet kick. Just remember that because you’re not cooking the salmon at high temperatures, you must make sure you use extra fresh salmon from a reputable supplier.
