Homeakase - CBD Sushi & Sashimi

CBD Quantity (per serving): 30-40mg

Servings: 4 small courses for 2 people

Allergies: Fish, Shellfish, soy, sesame, gluten (sub soy sauce with tamari for GF)

Prep Time: 45-60 min

Cook Time: n/a all raw dishes

Chef Note: Making raw fish dishes and eating them at home may seem daunting, but it’s really quite simple. The trick is to get really high quality sushi grade fish and let the flavors to do their thing. If you have a local Japanese market nearby, I highly recommend going there and choosing some of their sushi grade anything. You can’t really go wrong.

"My love for Japanese flavors has grown exponentially since moving to Los Angeles 8 years ago. The access to authentic Japanese ingredients fueled my curiosity and desire to not only eat but also create Japanese inspired dishes. This meal was a true experiment trying to fuse our CBD EVOO into sushi and sashimi. The results were delightful, we hope you enjoy and experiment with your own flavor combinations."

With a sharp knife slice the cucumber into very thin slices (as thin as you can make them).

DISH 2: TUNA SHOOTER

Step 1: Cut the fish

This step is assuming you already have a ready block of tuna to cut (if not take a look at this video that describes howe to break down a tuna). Cut in single long stroked perpendicular to the grain of the fish.

Step 2: Add CBD EVOO

In a small single serving dish, spoon 1 tbsp of Herb & Olive CBD EVOO.

Step 3: Place the fish

Place the fish gently on top of the EVOO.

Similar to the tuna cut across the grain to get the most desired piece of fish.

Step 3: Plate the fish

Start at the center of the dish and gently wrap a piece of salmon to create an oval-like shape. From there, wrap other pieces of salmon to create a flower looking design.

Step 4: Finish the fish

Take your yuzu juice and add as many drops as you see fit, around 1 tbsp. Then add about 1 tbsp of soy sauce (or tamari). Garnish with sesame seeds and fresh chives
