Emulsify Spirulina in Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1. 
   4.

   In a bowl, whisk together ½ teaspoon of blue spirulina powder and 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil until smooth and vibrant. This antioxidant-rich combination not only creates a striking blue hue but also delivers heart-healthy fats, detoxifying benefits, and a mild, briny flavor.

Prepare the Chiffonade

1. 
   5.

   Take 3 shiso leaves and carefully trim away the midrib for a smooth, uniform texture. Stack the leaves neatly, roll them tightly into a compact cylinder, and slice across with a sharp knife to create thin, even strips. This technique, known as chiffonade, produces tightly curled, ribbon-like pieces that make a fresh, herbaceous garnish. Shiso, an aromatic Japanese mint leaf, is often found at Asian grocery stores or specialty markets and adds a unique flavor while supporting digestion and providing anti-inflammatory benefits.

Plate the Sauce

1. 
   6.

   Place a spoonful of the blue spirulina sauce in the center of a plate. Using the back of a large spoon, gently spread the sauce to create an artistic, eye-catching design.

Arrange the Sashimi

   7.

   Arrange the sashimi slices evenly on the plate, spacing them apart for a clean and modern presentation.

Finish the Dish

   8.

   Generously spritz the sashimi slices with yuzu juice for a bright, citrusy finish, then sprinkle with microplastic-free salt to enhance the natural flavors. Top each slice with a small portion of chiffonade for an elegant garnish. This finishing touch brings a burst of vitamin C and antioxidants, supports immune health, and delivers essential trace minerals for overall wellness.
