Hamachi Crudo with Shaved Green Almond, Compressed Watermelon, Almond Milk Foam created by: Chef Gavin Kaysen, Executive Chef of Cafe Boulud

servings 8
ingredients 1 filet fresh hamachi
Almond oil, as needed
Fleur de sel

Almond Milk Foam:
1 cup sliced almonds, toasted
1 cup whole milk
3 tablespoons almond oil
Pinch lecithin powder

Garnish:
1/2 pound fresh green almond
1/4 red seedless watermelon
1/2 bunch scallion
2 each watermelon radish

preparation
Trim the hamachi filet, removing the bloodline. Thinly slice the filet against the grain into about 1/8”
slices.

For the Almond Milk Foam:
Simmer the milk and toasted almonds for 10 minutes, then rest at room temperature for one hour.
Strain the milk and return to a small pot. Add the almond oil and lecithin, and blend with the hand
blender to combine. When ready to plate, buzz with a hand blender and scoop the foam onto the
plates.

Garnish: For the almonds, crack the outer green shell with the heel of a knife, trying not to bruise the
nut inside. Peel away the shell and remove the nuts. If not using immediately, hold the fresh shelled
almonds in milk. Cut the watermelon into large 1” slices. Place into sous vide bags and seal in the
machine. This will compress the fruit and give it a dense, very juicy texture. Remove from the bags and
cut into small dice. Thinly slice the scallions on a bias. Peel the watermelon radish, slice thinly on a
mandoline and cut into julienne or desired shape.

To Plate: Arrange four slices of hamachi onto 8 chilled plates. Brush lightly with almond oil and sprinkle
with fleur de sel. Garnish as desired with the compressed watermelon, watermelon radish, and
scallion. Using the mandoline, shave the fresh shelled almonds on top. Spoon the almond foam
around and serve.
