Oyster Salmon Roll - 4/17/12
This is a very simple appetizer to put together but the combination of salmon, oyster, shiso leaf, fresh ginger, pickled ginger, served with a ponzu and freshly grated ginger sauce result in a wonderful bite. All you need to do is to roll an oyster with shiso leaf on a piece of smoked salmon or gravalax and that' is the main work of the dish. The Oyster Salmon roll dish is from Nobu but I changed it a bit by replacing the smoked salmon with home-made gravalax. If you want to make this appetizer easier than feel free to just purchase the smoked salmon instead.
I served this appetizer at my Japanese dinner and all my friends voted this dish as the best of Nobu!
Simple but yet elegant and so yummy!

I buy the oysters in a jar. |
They are huge so I have to cut them into half for this recipe. |

Lay a piece of salmon down on a plate, put a shiso leaf of top, add the a slice or 2 of pickled ginger, add an oyster on top and start rolling. |
Put each roll on a plate. |

when you finished rolling all of them put them in a fridge. Prepare this dish maybe 1 hour in advance but not longer than that. |
Prepare the sauce by mixing the ponzu sauce, the freshly grated ginger, and sugar. Taste it and make sure the sauce should be on the sweet side. |
