Chili Ponzu Yellowtail

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Begin by slicing the yellowtail into thin sashimi pieces and placing them on a serving plate.

  2. 2

    Slice the Jalapeño

    Remove the seeds from the jalapeño (if desired for less heat) and slice it into thin rings. Scatter the jalapeño slices over the yellowtail.

  3. 3

    Make the Chili Ponzu Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together the ponzu sauce, chili oil, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

  4. 4

    Combine with Cilantro

    Chop the fresh cilantro and sprinkle it over the yellowtail and jalapeño. Drizzle the chili ponzu sauce over the entire dish.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately as an appetizer or light main dish, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
