HIRAMASA WITH CUCUMBER SPOOM ON A BED OF AIOLI
Ingredients
For the fish:
- 8-10 oz. fresh sashimi grade Hiramasa , thinly sliced
- Fleur de Sel or similar type salt
- Togarashi Shichimi (Japanese 7-spice chili powder)
- 1 Icicle radish, very thinly shaved
- Basil, stems removed
- White Truffle Oil
- For the aoli:
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 to 1 1/4 cup Canola or Grapeseed Oil
- 1 garlic clove, smashed and roughly chopped
- Yuzu juice to taste
- salt to taste
- For the cucumber foam:
- 3 Japanese cucumbers, cut into chunks
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 Tbsp. Yuzu juice
- salt to taste
Directions
To make the aioli, combine the egg yolk, garlic, and 1 Tbsp. of yuzu in a blender. Blend untilt he garlic is incorporated, then slowly add the oil until the aioli becomes thick. Season to taste with salt and yuzu (the aioli should be fairly acidic). Reserve in a plastic container in the fridge .
- To make the foam, combine the cucumber, cream, and yuzu in a blender and puree until incorporated, about 1 minute (it will be fairly thick at this point). Strain 2-3 times through a fine chinois until all of the pureed meat is removed and only the green liquid remains. Season to taste with salt. Reserve in the fridge and transfer to a medium sized saucepan to foam.
To assemble, smear, streak, or dollop some yuzu aioli on a chilled plate. Lay the hiramasa on the aioli. Lightly sprinkle some finishing salt and shichimi over each slice, and lightly drizzle some truffle oil. Place some icicle radish on the fish, and top with the micro opal basil or shiso. Using an immersion blender, foam the cucumber liquid and place on and around the hamachi. Serve immediately.
