Sashimi Napolean
- 1/4 of a whole daikon (Japanese white radish), peeled-cut into needle-thin julienne, and soaked in ice water.
- 1 bunch radish sprouts, roots trimmed
- 4 shiso leaves (sometimes called beefsteak)
- 8 long fresh chives
- 3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
- 1/8 teaspoon wasabi horseradish, or to taste
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/3 cup mild olive oil
- 1/2 pound fresh tuna
- 1/2 pound smoked salmon
- 1/2 pound halibut fillets, with skin intact
- 8 wonton skins, about 5 inches square
- 1/2 cup clarified butter (see Notes)
- Dressing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, wasabi, and soy sauce until dissolved.
- Gradually whisk in the olive oil.
- Reserve.
- Fish:
- With a very sharp thin-bladed knife, very thinly slice the fish against the grain.
- When cutting the halibut, slice against the skin as you would smoked salmon.
- Reserve.
- Wontons:
- Cut the wonton skins crosswise in half, making 15 pieces.
- In a skillet, heat 1/4 cup of the clarified butter over moderate heat.
- Fry the wonton skins until golden on each side, adding more butter as needed.
- Remove and drain on paper towels.
- To assemble:
- Place a wonton skin on each of four plates.
- Layer the fish to fit the wonton skin, separating the fish with the wonton leaves and ending with a layer of fish layers (4 layers per plate, creating a Napoleon effect).
- Tuck a shiso leaf under the corner of each Napoleon.
- Drain and dry the radishes and scatter with the daikon, sprouts, and chives over the top.
- Sprinkle with the dressing and serve.
