First, it’s crucial to prepare a workspace. Collect all ingredients and tools. You’ll need a sharp knife, a cutting board, and a serving plate. Freshness is key, so make sure all your ingredients are at their prime.
Next, take the yellowtail kingfish from its packaging. Using your sharp knife, slice the fish against the grain into thin, delicate pieces, about 1/4-inch thick. The precision in cutting is essential. If the pieces are too thick, they’ll lose that melt-in-your-mouth experience.
Now, grab the jalapeños. With a careful hand, remove the seeds and slice them thinly. Depending on your heat tolerance, feel free to adjust the quantity.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and yuzu juice. The blend should sing with fresh, citrus notes. Add the grated ginger to this mix. Whisk until fully combined, and set it aside.
It's plating time! On a serving plate, artfully arrange the slices of kingfish. The way the fish overlaps can create an inviting presentation.
Sprinkle the sliced jalapeños over the fish. Next, delicately place a spoonful of trout roe on top. Remember, presentation matters, so take your time!
You'll finish with a drizzle of sesame oil over the dish. It adds a lovely sheen and mild nuttiness. Finally, add the cilantro tops for an aromatic finish and garnish with lemon wedges on the side.
