Salmon Crudo

Rich and silky salmon gets brightened with a sweet, savory, citrusy sauce with a bit of umami and funk from miso and hondashi. Fresh cucumber and green onion adds crunch. Tobiko is a fun but optional garnish for this easy, no-cook refreshing appetizer. I like to add some avocado as well and make this a light salad main.
