Recipe Notes

If fresh sashimi isn’t available, coat the avocado with the marinade and add black pepper. This seasoned avocado goes excellent with rice so you should definitely try it out.
With only a little soy sauce, the flavor and richness of the olive oil and the aroma of garlic make it a delicious way to cut back on salt.
