New-Style Salmon Sashimi from Nobu
serves four
Ingredients
1 lb fresh, center cut salmon, sushi grade
2 Tbsp garlic, minced
1 two-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and julienned
4 scallions, julienned and cut into two-inch pieces
2 Tbsp white sesame seeds
4 Tbsp soy sauce
4 Tbsp yuzu juice
12 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
4 Tbsp sesame oil
Method
Cut the fish filet into paper-thin slices. Fan out the sliced salmon, in a circle, over four dinner plates. Scatter minced garlic and ginger on top. Place the scallions neatly over the fish. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Drizzle with soy sauce and yuzu juice.
In a nonreactive small saucepan, combine olive and sesame oils. Set over moderately-high heat and bring almost to a boil, where the liquid is about 200°F. (The surface will start to shimmer.) Remove from the heat and immediately pour one-fourth of the oil mixture over each serving of fish. The hot oil will sear the salmon as you pour it on.
To serve: Serve immediately after pouring the hot oil on the salmon.
