Red Mullet Sashimi

7 ingredients
7 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 red mullet fillets, scaled and pinboned
  • Sea salt
  • 1 lime, zested, and juiced
  • 1 pomegranate
  • 1 thumb-sized knob fresh ginger
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • Small basil leaves

Directions

  1. 1
    Slice the fish thinly, but not wafer thin, and put into a bowl.
  2. 2
    Add a pinch of salt and squeeze in the lime juice (tip: if you roll and press the lime, you get more juice).
  3. 3
    The acid of the lime cooks the fish, so you will see it change colour.
  4. 4
    Remove the seeds from the pomegranate by bashing the back of each 1/2.
  5. 5
    Lay the fish on a plate, and from a height sprinkle on the lime zest and scatter over the pomegranate seeds.
  6. 6
    Use a sharp grater, such as a microplane, and grate the ginger over the top.
  7. 7
    To finish, drizzle over the oil and scatter on some small basil leaves.
