Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Prepare the fish: Sprinkle 2 teaspoons salt on all sides of the fish. Cover in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour. Rinse well, then pat dry.

  2. Step 2

    Place the kombu in a large bowl of warm water. Soak until soft, about 5 minutes, and pat dry. Lay the fish flat on the kombu, then fold the kombu over the fish and cover in plastic wrap. Chill for 6 to 12 hours.

  3. Step 3

    Prepare the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, mix all of the ingredients and season with pepper. Set aside.

  4. Step 4

    Unwrap the sea bream and discard the kombu. Using a very sharp knife with the blade lying flat, horizontally slice the sea bream as thinly as possible. Arrange the slices on a platter.

Tip
  • Serve with the dipping sauce and cucumber-radish salad, the recipe for which is below.
