Why It Works
- Crunchy cucumbers offer textural and flavor contrast with the rich, buttery hamachi.
- Lemon zest provides bright lemon flavor without the fish-cooking effects of straight lemon juice.
- Extra-virgin olive oil in place of sesame oil complements the other flavors in the dish without overpowering them.
Hamachiis a rich fish that's great eaten in small,nigiri- or sashimi-size bites on its own. In a slightly larger-format dish, like poke, it needs some bright, crunchy counterparts to balance out its richness and prevent palate fatigue. Diced cucumbers, chilies, and avocado are a good start, but the real key here is thin strips of lemon zest. Some good extra-virgin olive oil in place of the traditional sesame oil also gives the dish a lighter flavor.
