Ingredients

  • ½ pounds sushi-grade Hamachi Japanese amberjack, or yellowtail
  • 1 large lemon zested and juiced (1 tsp zest + 3 tb juice)
  • 3 tablespoons dark soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Optional Fresh Toppings -
  • 2 serrano chiles sliced
  • 2-3 baby cucumbers sliced
  • 2-3 radishes sliced
  • ¼ cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Place the fillet of fresh Hamachi in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes to firm it up for slicing. Meanwhile, slice and prep all the fresh toppings for the Crudo.
  • Set out a small mixing bowl. Combine the lemon zest and juice, dark soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, and honey. Whisk well to combine.
  • Once the Hamachi fillet is slightly firm, take it out of the freezer. If there is skin along the bottom side, carefully shave it off and discard. Then slice the Hamachi into thin slivers, against the grain. Shave them as thin you can, no more than 1/8 inch thick, but thinner is better.
  • Arrange the Hamachi Crudo on one large serving platter, or on several appetizer plates. Spoon the Crudo sauce over the top of the Hamachi. Then drizzle a little bit of olive oil over the top.
  • If using fresh toppings, sprinkle or arrange them over the top of each plate. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve immediately.
