Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Candied Citrus

    Slice the citrus fruits thinly. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and 200 ml of water. Bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add the sliced citrus and simmer for about 15 minutes until translucent. Remove from heat and let cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Myoga

    Thinly slice the myoga and set aside. You can use it fresh or lightly pickle it in rice vinegar for added flavor.

  3. 3

    Grill the Escolar

    Preheat the oak grill to medium-high heat. Rub the escolar with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

  4. 4

    Serve

    On a plate, place the grilled escolar, top with the candied citrus slices and myoga. Drizzle ponzu sauce over the top before serving.
