Fish

Method

Preparation of Fish

  1. 1

    Cleaning the Hirame

    Rinse the Hirame under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, carefully remove the skin if desired. Cut the fish into thin slices, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Marinade

  1. 2

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and chopped scallions. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

  2. 3

    Marinate the Fish

    Place the sliced Hirame in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the fish. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to penetrate the fish.

Serving

  1. 4

    Plate the Dish

    After marinating, remove the Hirame from the refrigerator and arrange the slices on a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the fish.

  2. 5

    Garnish

    Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the Hirame and add a handful of microgreens or fresh herbs on top for added flavor and presentation.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Hirame chilled as an appetizer or main dish, accompanied by additional soy sauce if desired.
