Yellowtail is my favorite fish and it’s proudly South African. It’s firm and gentle flesh allows it to carry flavour well. The tanginess and sweetness from the citrus mixture makes it a match made in heaven. I’m a huge fan of texture and the sweet and salty slaw is the perfect ingredient, topped off with sushi rice…who could say no to that?

RICE RICE BABY...
Rinse the rice under cold water until it runs clear - this prevents the rice from becoming stodgy. Place in a lidded pot, over medium-high heat with 250ml of fresh, salted water. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. On completion, remove from the heat and fluff up with a fork.
ZINGY CEVICHE MARINADE
Pat the yellowtail dry with paper towel and gently remove and discard the skin. Cut the flesh into bite-sized cubes and place in a bowl with the diced onions, chopped jalapeño’s, ½ of the chopped coriander, both the Orange, lemon, lime juice and zest. Toss together and season to taste. Cover and set aside to cure for at least 15 minutes.
SWEET AND SALTY
Place the cabbage and carrot in a separate bowl and coat with the sweet tamari-sesame sauce. Set aside to marinate until serving. Place a pan over a medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, shallow fry the Poppadoms one at a time for 30 seconds per side. As soon as the poppadom starts curling, use a spatula or tongs to flip it over and flatten it out. Keep flipping and flattening until golden and puffed up.
OPTIONAL STEP
If you’d like to cook the yellowtail, do so once it has finished curing for 15 minutes. Place a pan over a medium heat. When hot, add in the yellowtail, reserving the sauce in the bowl. Flash fry for 1-2 minutes until lightly seared, shifting occasionally. Return to the bowl on completion and toss to coat.
