Method

Hamachi Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Hamachi

    Sprinkle the hamachi fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Hamachi

    Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned hamachi fillets and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Carrot Nage Preparation

  1. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic, and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Carrots and Broth

    Add the chopped carrots and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the carrots are tender.

  3. 5

    Blend the Nage

    Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the mixture until smooth. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Keep warm until serving.

Marinated Peppers Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together white vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, black pepper, and oregano.

  2. 7

    Marinate the Peppers

    Add the sliced bell peppers and red onion to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes or refrigerate for several hours for best flavor.

Avocado Preparation

  1. 8

    Prepare the Avocado

    Halve the avocados, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with lime juice and season with salt to taste.

Assembly

  1. 9

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving plate, ladle a portion of carrot nage, place the seared hamachi fillet on top, and spoon the marinated peppers over the fish. Add a dollop of mashed avocado on the side.
