Method

Cut the sea bream fillets in half along the middle line so that you have four pieces. Cut the pieces into 3 mm (⅛ inch) thick sashimi slices.

Arrange the sliced sea bream on a plate and use a cocktail stick or chopsticks to put a tiny amount of yuzu kosho on the sashimi. Drizzle the sesame oil over the fish and sprinkle with the salt.
