About

Sea bream has a perfect balance of delicate sweetness and richness and is a fantastic fish for sashimi. Yuzu Kosho is a key ingredient for this recipe – it’s a useful condiment to have and can be found in many Japanese stores.

Ingredients

Fresh

2 sea bream fillets, about 100 g (3½ oz) each, skin removed – ask your fishmonger to pin-bone them for

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.
