Hamachi carpaccio is a delicate no-cook seafood recipe that's brimming with vibrant savory and spicy flavors, and just the right touch of citrus. It comes together in as little as 10 minutes and is perfect to serve as a refreshing appetizer or light main dish.
Start by slicing the Hamachi as thinly as you can. Arrange the slices on a chilled plate.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lime juice, olive oil, and soy sauce. This will be your dressing.
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the Hamachi slices.
Scatter the thinly sliced jalapeno and cilantro leaves over the top.
Season with a small amount of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Garnish with microgreens if desired.
Serve immediately. It's essential that the Hamachi Carpaccio remains fresh and cold for the best taste and texture.
Notes
Get the freshest Hamachi you can find, the kind that's safe to eat raw like sushi. The fresher, the tastier!
Pop the Hamachi in the freezer for about 20 minutes before you slice it. This makes it a bit firmer, so slicing it thinly is a breeze.
Make sure your knife is really sharp and try to cut the fish smoothly in one go. A sharp knife helps you avoid tearing the fish.
Storing leftover Hamachi Carpaccio isn't recommended because it's best enjoyed fresh due to the raw fish. However, if you must save it, wrap it tightly and store it in the fridge for no more than 24 hours. Remember, the quality and safety can decrease over time, so it's better to prepare only as much as you can eat.
