Hamachi Preparation
Method
Hamachi Preparation Steps
- 1
Clean the Hamachi
Using a sharp knife, carefully scale and gut the whole Hamachi. Rinse it thoroughly under cold water to remove any blood or impurities.
- 2
Fillet the Hamachi
Place the cleaned fish on a cutting board. Using a sharp fillet knife, make an incision behind the head and cut down along the spine to remove the fillets from the bones. Repeat on the other side.
- 3
Slice the Fillets
With the skin side down, slice the Hamachi fillets into thin sashimi-style pieces, about 1/4 inch thick.
- 4
Season the Hamachi
Arrange the sliced Hamachi on a serving plate. Sprinkle sea salt over the slices to enhance the flavor.
- 5
Prepare the Sauce
In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, soy sauce, and wasabi to create a dipping sauce.
- 6
Serve
Garnish the Hamachi with cilantro and serve with pickled ginger on the side. Drizzle the dipping sauce over the slices or serve it on the side.
