Paint me like one of your french girls! 🎨 Yellowtail crudo with orange, fennel & red hot chili peppers. Recipe below👇
So what’s the difference between sashimi and crudo? Let’s get cultured, fam. Sashimi is a Japanese preparation that is made with expertly cut raw fish typically served with a side of soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger while crudo is an Italian preparation of raw fish drizzle with olive oil and typically cured with citrus.
🐟 Since the fish will be consumed raw it is important to purchase sushi or sashimi-grade fish, which is typically flash frozen soon after it’s caught to maintain it’s fresh quality. I am using Yellowtail for this recipe, a mild-flavored fish with a firm texture and buttery taste when served raw.
INGREDIENTS:
1 fillet of sushi-grade Yellowtail, skinless and boneless
1 tbs olive oil
1 tbs freshly squeezed orange juice
1 tsp freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tsp finely chopped shallot
1 tsp thinly sliced green onion, diagonal
1 tbs thinly sliced cucumber, cut into quarters
1 tbs thinly sliced fennel
1 tsp thinly sliced orange, cut into triangles
1 tsp thinly sliced red hot chili pepper (optional)
Coarse kosher or sea salt
PREPARATION:
In a bowl mix together the shallots, cucumber, fennel, orange, green onion, red hot chili pepper, olive oil, and citrus juices and set aside.
Thinly slice the Yellowtail and add to the bowl with sauce, toss and arrange the fish on a plate, folded in half. Pour the remaining sauce over the top of the fish. Top with salt and you can garnish with fennel leaves. Serve immediately. 🥰
