Curated With Gracey Lane invites the pro skateboarder, Bucky Lasek over for a yellowtail sashimi party

Neither Bucky Lasek nor I are professional chefs, but we are professional eaters that have bonded over our love for fishing and enjoying our fresh catch. This sashimi recipe features fresh yellowtail Lasek caught in Baja waters and seasonal ingredients from our farm. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do with our friends and family.

Ingredients


  • 1 Meyer lemon
  • ½ pound sashimi-grade yellowtail
  • 1 serrano chile, thinly sliced
  • Pinch sea salt
  • Pinch black Hawaiian sea salt
  • Wasabi and Huy Fong® Sriracha chili sauce, to serve
  • Tamari or soy sauce, to serve (optional)

Instructions

  • Before making the sashimi, soak thinly sliced serrano peppers in pickling juice for 30 minutes.
  • Cut the Meyer lemon in half. Juice half and reserve; quarter and thinly slice the other half.
  • With a very sharp knife, slice the yellowtail sashimi-style: Hold the knife at a 45-degree angle and cut the fillet against the grain with one swift motion into 1⁄4-inch-thick slices. Drizzle lemon juice over sashimi slices and top with a quartered slice of lemon. Sprinkle pinches of sea salt and black Hawaiian salt and add a slice of serrano to each piece. Squeeze a small drop of wasabi and sriracha on top of the pickled serrano slice to finish.
  • Devour as is or serve with tamari or soy sauce for dipping.
