Provided by Mark Franz

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

Coconut-green curry vinaigrette
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 white onion, very thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon Thai green curry paste*
1 stalk fresh lemongrass, root ends trimmed, 1 or 2 tough outer leaves discarded from stalk, and roughly chopped
1 (13.5 ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
1 cup white wine, preferably Sauvignon Blanc
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (from 1 medium lime)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Fried ginger
1 cup vegetable oil
2 (2-inch) pieces fresh ginger (about 1 ounce total), peeled and very thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Scant 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Hamachi
8 ounces fresh sushi-grade hamachi** from a reputable fishmonger, well-chilled and very thinly sliced
*Thai green curry paste is available at Asian markets and in the Asian foods section of some supermarkets.
**Ask your fishmonger for a hamachi filet that can be easily divided into 8 portions. Or, ask him to slice it for you. If hamachi is unavailable, sushi-grade ahi tuna makes a good substitute.

Steps:

Make coconut curry vinaigrette:
In large skillet over low heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil until hot but not smoking. Add onion and sauté until translucent and softened, about 8 minutes. Add garlic, curry paste, and lemongrass and continue cooking, uncovered, until aromatic, about 5 minutes. Add coconut milk and wine, increase heat to moderately high, and bring to boil. Reduce heat to moderate and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Stir in heavy cream, remove from heat, and let cool about 10 minutes. Using slotted spoon, remove lemongrass and discard. Transfer mixture to blender, add lime juice, and pulse until smooth, about 30 seconds (use caution when blending hot liquids). With motor on low, add remaining 1/4 cup olive oil in slow, steady stream and process until fully incorporated. Stir in salt and set aside.
Fry ginger:
In heavy medium saucepan over moderately high heat, heat vegetable oil to 300°F. Fry ginger, stirring occasionally, until light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer ginger to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
To serve:
Divide hamachi evenly among 8 chilled plates. Drizzle 1/4 cup vinaigrette over and around fish, sprinkle with fried ginger, and serve.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

18 ounces red snapper fillet
1 teaspoon finely grated garlic
1 (3-inch) knob ginger, peeled and julienned very thinly and plunged briefly in cold water
Menengi or chives
2 teaspoons white sesame seeds, toasted
Yuzu Soy sauce, recipe follows
1 carrot curl, for garnish
New Style Oil, recipe follows
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon yuzu juice (best if fresh, but bottled available in Asian markets)
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce
6 tablespoons pure olive oil
2 teaspoons sesame oil

Steps:

Cut fish fillet into paper-thin slices using the usu-zukuri cutting technique: Place fillet horizontally on chopping board with skin side up and tail end to left, steadying that side with fingers of left hand. Hold very sharp, long, thin-bladed pointed knife so that the top, blunt edge is inclined sharply to the right and, from the left side of fillet, start cutting paper-thin slices. Keep the blade at an acute angle to achieve a clean cut across the grain. The fish is sliced in one drawing stroke. Let the weight of the knife do the work as you draw the blade back toward yourself. Keep fingers of left hand clear.
Arrange fish slices on serving plate. On each slice dab a little grated garlic and place ginger spears and a few menengi or chives. Sprinkle sesame seeds over fish. Drizzle yuzu soy sauce over top of entire arrangement and garnish with carrot curl.
Just prior to serving, heat the New Style Oil in a small frying pan until just before it begins to smoke. Pour it over fish slices and serve.
