Yellowtail or Hamachi Sashimi
Description
The recipe starts with salting the yellowtail fillet for 10 to 30 minutes unless using white soy sauce, which can be brushed on the fish after slicing. A sharp, long knife is used to slice the fish against the grain into roughly 1/4 inch thick pieces, which preserves tenderness and the ideal sashimi texture.
Arranging the slices over shiso leaves adds subtle herbal notes and an attractive presentation. The fish is served alongside finely shredded daikon radish and a dab of wasabi, lending crisp freshness and spicy heat to complement the mild fish.
This simple sashimi dish is commonly enjoyed chilled, often as an appetizer or light main, pairing well with soy sauce or ponzu. The method preserves the fish's natural characteristics and emphasizes freshness and clean flavors.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces yellowtail fillet
- salt or white soy sauce
- shiso leaves (optional)
- wasabi
- 2 cups daikon radish finely shredded
Instructions
- Salt the block of yellowtail and set it in the fridge for 10 to 30 minutes. If you have the white soy sauce, no need for this.
- Using a long, sharp knife, slice the yellowtail against the grain into slices about 1/4 inch thick.
- If you are using shiso leaves, set them down and arrange the fish slices on them. If you have the white soy sauce, paint the fish with it now.
- Arrange the shredded daikon on the plate and give everyone a healthy dot of wasabi.
