Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium bowl, combine yuzu juice, ponzu sauce, filtered water, sugar, sesame oil, and a smashed garlic clove. Whisk thoroughly until the sugar dissolves, about 1-2 minutes. Set aside.
  2. Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the sushi-grade yellowtail hamachi into even pieces, aiming for about 1/4 inch in thickness. Arrange the slices on a chilled serving plate, slightly overlapping them.
  3. Drizzle the freshly prepared yuzu ponzu sauce generously over the sliced hamachi. Let it sit for a minute to allow the flavors to marry.
  4. Finely slice the shallot, serrano pepper, and lemon zest, then sprinkle generously over the prepared hamachi, followed by fresh cilantro leaves.
  5. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness of your Hamachi Crudo with Yuzu Ponzu Sauce.
