Prepare the Amberjack Fillet:
To begin with, ensure the amberjack fillet has been properly frozen to prevent any potential parasites. It is recommended to freeze the fillet for at least 96 hours at -18°C. Afterward, defrost the fillet carefully, as it will be used raw in this recipe. -
Remove Bones:
Use a pair of tweezers to remove any bones from the fillet. Simply run your fingers gently across the fillet to identify the bones, then carefully extract them with the tweezers. -
Slice the Fish:
Slice the amberjack fillet thinly into small, delicate pieces. Cut diagonally to create the thin, almost translucent slices that are typical for carpaccio. -
Prepare the Marinade:
In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free soy sauce and white wine vinegar. Add the finely chopped fresh dill, ensuring an even distribution throughout the liquid. The mixture should be enough to fully immerse the slices of fish. -
Marinate the Carpaccio:
Lay the thin slices of amberjack into the marinade, making sure that each slice is submerged. Cover the dish with plastic wrap to seal in the flavors. Let the fish marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. -
Prepare the Final Touches:
Once the fish has marinated, remove it from the liquid and arrange the slices neatly on a serving platter. For a burst of flavor, freshly grate the orange zest over the top, adding a refreshing citrus element to the dish. -
Garnish and Serve:
To finish, scatter pink peppercorns over the carpaccio for a mild, aromatic spiciness. The contrast of the sweet brown sugar and tangy soy sauce marinade will be balanced beautifully with the citrusy zest. Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer.
This Marinated Amberjack Carpaccio in Soy Sauce is a delicately flavored appetizer, where the richness of the amberjack fish is enhanced by the savory soy sauce and complemented with the freshness of dill and a zesty kick from the orange. Ideal for special occasions or to impress guests with a refined and simple dish.
