This Yellowtail Jalapeno Sashimi recipe is one of Nobu Matsushia’s signature starters. Made with thinly sliced sushi-grade fish, it is presented as a “starfish” in a pool of Yuzu soy sauce. Top with a fresh sprig of cilantro, jalapeno and daikon radish for an elegant and impressive appetizer.
To make this yellowtail sashimi with jalapenos, you’ll need roughly 2 1/2 ounces yellowtail, sliced into six thin pieces.
Wild-caught yellowtail from California and Mexico is a sustainable seafood choice when caught using responsible fishing practices. Farmed yellowtail from Japan is generally less sustainable due to its reliance on wild-caught sardines for feed and environmental impacts from fish farming.
