Why You’ll Love Truffled Salmon & Hamachi Crudo
This Crudo is velvety perfection in each bite. The sauce has been marinated in shallots and ginger that is so creamy with flavors that are perfectly balanced. The truffle oil arugula has a rich and earthy flavor with the delightful crunch from the puffed quinoa. This is such an easy and refreshing meal, you will be in love!
How To Prepare Truffled Salmon & Hamachi Crudo
🔪 Slice your sushi grade Salmon and Hamachi fairly thin. I get mine either locally from AJs or online at Riviera Seafood Club.
🥣 Mix the Japanese mayo, white miso, orange and lemon juice well. I used an frother so it is very well incorporated. Add in the soy sauce, mirin, shallot and ginger. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
🫚 Strain the sauce into the plate that you will be using to serve. Reserve the shallots and ginger chunks for topping.
🍣 Arrange the fish, alternating the hamachi and salmon. Spoon the reserved shallot and ginger directly on top.
🌿 Mix the micro arugula with the truffle oil, but make sure you don’t add too much. It does have a strong flavor. Top the fish with the micro arugula, puffed quinoa or rice to taste and some salsa macha. And that is it, subscribe for more!

Substitutions for Truffled Salmon & Hamachi Crudo
- If you don’t have Salsa Macha, you can always use Chili Crisps.
- Japanese mayo has a different texture and a slightly different taste than regular mayo, but you substitute the two without it being too much of a difference.
- You can always swap the micro arugula for regular in a pinch.
- You can use scallops, shrimp or octopus in place of the Salmon and Hamachi. This sauce and its topping pair really well with any type of seafood.
Variations for Truffled Salmon & Hamachi Crudo
- If you want zero spice, don’t add the Salsa Macha or Chili Crisps.
- If you want to add a little extra spice, you can always thinly slice Serranos or jalapeños and add it to the toppings.
🔥Chef Nadia’s Tip🔥
Always use sushi grade fish! If I can’t find it locally, I buy mine at Riviera Seafood Club.
Recipes That Pair
Common Questions
You can prepare it ahead of time. Slicing the fish and preparing the sauce can absolutely be done as long as they are sealed properly and stored in the fridge. Wait until right before serving to assemble the actual dish though. The acidity will not be good for the fish to be sitting in too long.
Ideally, no longer than 30 minutes. It is also best to keep the fish chilled right up until serving.
Crudos pair well with a light salad, crostini, or veggies. A nice Riesling or Sauvignon Blanc are also a great complement to the richness of the miso and the spice.
I got mine on Amazon. They are Z Natural Foods Organic Crispy Puffed Quinoa.
