Fluke Crudo with Furikake

Ingredients

12 ounces skinless sushi-grade fluke fillets 1½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoons lemon juice 1 tablespoon soy sauce 2 teaspoons furikake

Before You Begin

We like to use our Furikake for this recipe. Freshness is key when serving fish raw. Speak with your fishmonger to make sure you are purchasing high-quality, sushi-grade fish. If fluke is not available, you can substitute other sushi-grade fish such as sea bass or tuna. Inspect the fillets for bones and remove before slicing. Freeze the fish for about 15 minutes to make slicing easier. We prefer to use our homemade Furikake, but you can substitute store-bought furikake. This recipe contains raw or undercooked seafood, which comes with inherent risks. To learn more about food safety, check out this guide.

Instructions

  1.  Using sharp knife, cut fluke lengthwise into 2- to 3-inch-wide strips. Working with 1 strip at a time, slice fluke crosswise on bias into ⅛-inch-thick slices. Arrange fluke attractively on individual chilled plates.
  2.  Whisk oil, lemon juice, and soy sauce together in small bowl. Drizzle sauce over fluke and sprinkle with furikake. Serve immediately.

Why This Recipe Works

Once you have the fresh seafood, it's just about contrasting the raw fish with the right garnish; we added flavor and texture to our recipe by finishing the dish with the Japanese seaweed–sesame seed spice blend known as furikake. The sprinkled furikake created a beautiful presentation, ensured that each bite packed an umami-rich punch, and added nice crunch against the fish.
