Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces Fresh Salmon Skinless and deboned. Sushi-grade is an absolute must.
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil Brings a deep, toasted nutty flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Tamari Sauce A great gluten-free soy alternative.
  • 1 pinch Salt Enhances all the flavors perfectly.
  • 2 cups Cabbage Shredded. Gives a satisfying crunch.
  • 4 ounces Cucumber Sliced thinly. Very cooling and refreshing.
  • 1 small Radish Thinly sliced. Adds a tiny peppery kick.
  • 1/2 Avocado Diced evenly. Rich and creamy.
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro Fresh and herbal notes.
  • 2 tablespoons Keto Sesame Mayonnaise Ties the whole bowl together beautifully.
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Seeds Classic white seeds for texture.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Sesame Seeds For a stunning visual color contrast.

Instructions
 

  • Carefully cut the fresh salmon into even cubes. Aim for bite-sized pieces for the best texture. Place these pristine cubes into a small mixing bowl. Handle the fish gently. This preserves its delicate structure.
  • Pour the sesame oil over the fish. Add the tamari sauce. Add a pinch of salt. Gently toss everything together. Make sure it is evenly coated. Set this bowl aside. Let it marinate for fifteen minutes. This resting time acts as our cooking phase.
  • Now, focus on your beautiful vegetable components. Take out four individual serving bowls. Divide the shredded cabbage evenly among the four bowls. This acts as our low-carb foundation today.
  • Arrange the sliced cucumber neatly along one edge. Place the thinly sliced radishes right next to them. Add the diced avocado carefully. Add the fresh cilantro. Creating distinct sections makes the presentation look highly professional.
  • Retrieve your perfectly marinated salmon cubes. Spoon the fish evenly into the center of each bowl. Drizzle any remaining marinade lightly over the fresh vegetables. This adds extra flavor to the cabbage base.
  • Finally, take your keto sesame mayonnaise. Drizzle it generously over the top of each bowl. Sprinkle both regular and black sesame seeds everywhere. Serve these gorgeous bowls immediately for the best taste.

Notes

Raw fish does not store well after it is dressed in salt and oil. It gets mushy. But you can prep ahead of time. Chop the cabbage and cucumbers early. Store them in airtight glass containers. They will stay crisp in the fridge for up to three days.
