Scallop and Radish Sashimi with a Soy, Orange and Ginger dressing...

In this hot weather I find myself craving delicious fresh light ingredients whilst cooking, therefore when planning a starter for a health conscious group of friends this delicious scallop and radish sashimi sprung to mind. The contrast of the sweetness of the scallops with the peppery taste of the radishes finished with the salty citrus notes in the dressing works so perfectly together!

This is such a quick and easy recipe to whip up if you find yourself having friends round after a long day of work, yet the bright colours of the pink and purple radishes looks beautiful and impressive...

Recipe

Ingredients...

Serves 2

6 radishes thinly sliced (by hand or on a mandolin) I always use a mixture of pink and purple for the extra 'wow' factor

10 sushi grade scallops ( available through your fishmonger)

1 apple, diced and finely cubed

1 spring onion sliced lengthways in half

3 tbsp soy sauce

3 tbsp freshly squeezed juice of an orange

1 thumb sized piece of ginger grated

1tbsp grated orange zest

1tbsp sesame oil

Arrange the radishes as you wish, (I do one pink circle and one purple circle as shown above in my photo to emphasise the different colours), then using a chef ring on top arrange the scallops into an even circle and build up as high as you like. Next put the spring onion into a griddle pan until lightly charred and arrange on top along with the diced apple.

Mix together all of the dressing ingredients and pour on top just before serving, top with micro amaranth and red vein sorrel and enjoy!!

I hope you will love this recipe as much as I do!

Have a happy and healthy evening,
