Cured Flounder Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Flounder

    Rinse the flounder fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Make the Kombu Cure

    In a bowl, mix the sea salt and sugar together. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the flounder fillets.

  3. 3

    Layer with Kombu

    Place the kombu sheets over the salted flounder, ensuring they cover the fish completely.

  4. 4

    Refrigerate

    Wrap the dish in plastic wrap or place it in a container with a lid, and refrigerate for 24-48 hours to allow the fish to cure.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Dressing

    After curing, remove the flounder from the refrigerator. In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar and sesame oil together.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice the kombu-cured flounder thinly and arrange it on a plate. Drizzle the rice vinegar dressing over the top and garnish with fresh chives.
