Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • food blender

Ingredients
 
 

  • 360 gram hamachi fillet
  • 1 avocado
  • 2 finger lime
  • 1 large red chilli
  • 1 large shallot peeled
  • ½ bunch coriander
  • 120 millilitre light olive oil
  • sea salt

Instructions
 

preparing all ingredients

  • If you have purchased the fillet with skin and bones still attached you will have to first remove them. Then cut into cubes of about 1½ cm (½ inch) and keep chilled until you are ready to mix the hamachi.
  • Cut the avocado in half and remove the seed. Scoop out the flesh and cut into small dices (as evenly as possible)
  • Cut the finger lime in half and squeeze out the pearls by pressing from the end, towards the cut side. Remove any seeds and set aside the finger lime.
  • Cut the shallots into small dices (brunoise).
  • Cut the chilli lengthwise in half and remove the seeds. Then cut it into small dices and set aside.
  • Pick the coriander leaves from the stems. Chop some of the coriander for the hamachi mix and keep the rest for the garnish (you need about 1 tablespoon chopped).
  • Combine the remaining coriander and olive oil (leave 2 tablespoon for the hamachi mix) and mix in a blender for about 2minutes on high speed. Strain through a sieve and let it cool.

for plating up

  • In a bowl add the hamachi dices. Add the finger lime, shallots, chilli, chopped coriander, 2 tablespoon olive oil and sea salt.
  • Mix carefully and adjust seasoning if required.
  • In a bowl or plate place the hamachi using tweezers or a fork, evenly spread out. Next place the avocado dices between the hamachi. Drizzle the coriander oil in between the hamachi and avocado. Finish with some coriander leaves as garnish.
  • Serve immediately

Notes

other fish to substitute hamachi with
You can use salmon, tuna or red snapper as a substitute. Try to avoid fish like swordfish or cod.
