The Fish
Raw yellowtail
4 oz sliced into 4 pieces
Chef Tip: You can buy this pre-prepared at the fish counter or you can debone and deskin the fish yourself. See the chef's video tutorial on this site
The Garnishes
Ginger oil
1 cup fresh thinly sliced skin on ginger
1 pint canola oil
Poach at 170-degrees (very light simmer) for 4 hours
Chef Tip: You want to cook the oils barely off the simmer. If you boil it, the oil will take on a bitter flavor
Peperoncino oil
cup peperoncino
1 pint canola oil
Poach at 170-degrees for 2 hours
Chef Tip: You can pre-prepare the oils and use as a salad dressing as well. Together, they are called Olio e Zenzero
Cool both oils
Pickled onion
Chef Tip: You can pre-prepare the pickled onions and store in the refrigerator
1 red onion finely sliced
1 cup red wine vinegar
cups water
1 tablespoon salt
Combine and bring to a boil
Pour liquid over red onion slices and cool
Chop into small pieces
Chef Tip: You can use a food processor for this rather than a knife
To Assemble:
Lay fish slices onto the plate
Top with ginger and pepperoncino oils
Chef Tip: Hamachi has a high fat content so pairing it with a high fat garnish will enhance the experience
Garnish with Hawaiian red sea salt & micro arugula
Chef Tip: The greens should be readily available at most grocery stores & adds a delicate crunch to the dish
The Deal: A complimentary glass of house red or house white wine with an entree purchase if you mention you saw this feature on 6abc. Offer good through January 4, 2020
