Hamachi Kama
Description
Hamachi Kama involves marinating yellowtail collars overnight in a blend of lemon, lime, and orange juices mixed with soy sauce and mirin. The marinade imparts acidity and savory depth while tenderizing the fish. The marinade is then boiled and reduced by half to concentrate the flavors for basting.
The collars are dried, coated lightly in sesame oil, and grilled over high heat until charred and cooked through. The reduced marinade is applied during grilling to enhance moisture and taste. This technique yields meat that is flaky and rich, with a slightly smoky exterior from the grill.
Hamachi Kama pairs well with steamed rice and a fresh salad, offering a balance between the flavorful fish and lighter side dishes. The citrus marinade brightens the natural oiliness of the yellowtail, making it a flavorful main course.
Ingredients
MARINADE
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 1/3 cup lime juice
- 1/3 cup orange juice
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup mirin or other rice wine
FISH
- 4 yellowtail collar (or substitute, see above)
- sesame oil
Instructions
- Mix the marinade ingredients together and put them, along with the yellowtail collars, into a heavy plastic bag or lidded container. Marinate overnight or up to 1 day. If the collars are not submerged, turn them periodically so they get good contact with the marinade.
- The next day, pour the marinade into a small pot and bring it to a boil. Reduce it by half, and set it aside.
- Pat the collars dry with paper towels and coat with a film of sesame oil. Get your grill nice and hot, and clean the grates.
- Grill your collars over high heat, basting with the reduced marinade, for about 10 to 20 minutes, depending on how large your collars are and how hot your fire is. You want them fully cooked and a little charred. Serve with steamed rice and a salad.
Notes
- Marinate the yellowtail collars completely, turning occasionally to ensure even flavor.
- Baste with reduced marinade during grilling for moisture and enhanced taste.
- Serve with steamed rice and a fresh seaweed salad for complementary textures and flavors.
