Tips and substitutions
-
Can’t find yuzu juice? Replace it with Meyer lemon juice or a bit of lime juice and orange juice combined.
-
Slice the serranos and red onion into evenly sliced pieces for easy eating and a nice presentation.
-
Dress the hamachi in a homemade ponzu sauce instead if you want.
-
To make the appetizer a bit more substantial, add a smear of avocado or pea puree to the plate before adding the fish.
