Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the yuzu juice, ponzu sauce, and filtered water. Stir in the sugar, sesame oil, and a smashed garlic clove until the sugar dissolves completely.
  2. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the sushi-grade yellowtail hamachi into thin, even pieces, about 1/4 inch thick. Arrange the pieces artfully on a chilled serving plate.
  3. Gently drizzle the prepared yuzu ponzu sauce over the top, ensuring each slice of fish is coated.
  4. Sprinkle the sliced shallots, chopped cilantro, and serrano pepper over the hamachi, finishing with a generous zesting of lemon and a sprinkle of flaky salt.
  5. Serve the Hamachi Crudo right away for the best flavors and textures.
