Hamachi and Yellow Courgette with Soy-Sesame Dressing
Ingredients
For the Hamachi and Courgette
- 1 pound hamachi fillet, skinless, bloodline removed
- 2 yellow courgette, medium
- 1/4 cup fresh chives, finely chopped, plus more for garnish
For the Soy-Sesame Dressing
- 1/4 cup soy sauce, low sodium
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
Instructions

Begin by preparing the hamachi. Ensure the hamachi fillet is very cold, as this makes it easier to slice thinly. Using a very sharp knife, slice the hamachi against the grain into extremely thin, almost translucent pieces. Aim for slices about 1/16 inch thick. Arrange the slices on a plate or tray as you cut them to prevent sticking.

Wash the yellow courgettes. Using a mandoline or a very sharp knife, slice the courgettes into thin, semi-circular pieces, approximately 1/8 inch thick. If using a knife, cut the courgette in half lengthwise first, then slice.

Finely chop the fresh chives. You will need 1/4 cup for the dressing and a little extra for garnish.

Prepare the soy-sesame dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, fresh lemon juice, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, granulated sugar, and grated fresh ginger. Add 1/4 cup of the finely chopped chives to the dressing and stir to combine.

Assemble the dish on a large serving platter. Arrange the hamachi slices in an overlapping, circular pattern around the plate. Place one thin slice of yellow courgette on top of each hamachi slice. Carefully fold or arrange the hamachi slice around the courgette, creating an aesthetically pleasing presentation. Continue this process until all the hamachi and courgette are artfully arranged.
