Kingfish crudo with ginger-citrus dressing and quick coriander oil
This makes more dressing than you will need to dress the kingfish, but it's delightful to have in the fridge to marinate proteins or drizzle over smashed cucumbers for throw-together snacks on hot summer days.
Ingredients
500g sashimi kingfish
Ginger-citrus dressing
½ cup pineapple juice
¼ cup orange juice
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
Quick coriander oil
20g coriander leaves
150ml olive oil
To finish
1 jalapeno, finely sliced
sea salt flakes and black pepper
edible flowers to scatter (optional)
Method
1. To make the coriander oil, blanch the coriander leaves in a saucepan of boiling water until vibrant green, about 30 seconds. Strain and add to a blender or food processor with the oil. Blitz to combine then strain through a fine mesh strainer. Set aside.
2. To make the dressing, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and using a fork, whisk to combine.
3. Add the pieces of kingfish to a platter. Drizzle over the ginger-ginger dressing, a tablespoon at a time until the fish is just dressed, not drowning. Add a few drops of coriander oil and scatter over the jalapeno slices and an edible flower or two if using. Season generously with salt and pepper and serve.
Tip: Dress the fish just before serving. If it sits in the dressing, the acidity will denature the protein in the fish, turning it opaque and firming the texture.
