Fresh Salmon Salad Rolls

By Periplus Editors, Quick & Easy Asian Tapas and Noodles

Inspiration for these gorgeously delicate rolls comes from Yu Sheng, a raw fish salad eaten by Singaporeans during the Lunar New Year celebrations. Light, fresh and nutty flavors come prettily bundled in rice paper wrappers, with little dabs of tasty tobiko fish roe lending an elegant finishing touch.

Mixed Seafood Hot Pot

By Debra Samuels, My Japanese Table

This beautiful dish is a one-pot wonder, mixing seafood, chicken, tofu, glass noodles, and vegetables. Once the preparation is done, you are home free — the cooking happens at your table (or stovetop). Fish fillets with the skin on helps the fish hold its shape. Whole clams, succulent scallops, and giant shrimp give the broth a briny undertone, and the tofu and glass noodles absorb the flavors from the stock.

Tuna with Avocado-Wasabi Puree

By Harris Salat, The Japanese Food Report and The Japanese Grill

This is a popular preparation from Matsuri, Tadashi’s restaurant—rich, creamy avocado meets dense, intense tuna, with the wasabi and lime juice adding heat and bite. Use only sushi grade tuna for this recipe (yellowfin or bigeye [ahi] tuna are great choices) and perfectly ripe avocados.

Donburi, or rice bowls are quick and easy meals. Other seafood that you can substitute into these recipes include crab, shrimp, squid, and any other sashimi quality seafood your fishmonger has. This recipe is made with thin slices of salmon. Another way to cut raw seafood is called “butsugiri” or rough chopping. The nori adds a nice minerality to the donburi.

Tuna Ceviche

By Linda’s Yummies, Asian Inspired Recipes

Ceviche is easier to make than you’d think. The two main ingredients are fresh fish (sushi grade) and lime juice. Don’t let raw fish scare you from trying this recipe. The acid in the lime juice cooks the fish without using heat (i.e, heat from stovetop, oven or grill). Tuna along with fresh vegetables, Thai chili peppers, and lime juice gives this dish a light, citrus zing. Serve as an appetizer or side dish.
