Ingredients

  • 12 fresh scallops
  • 1 small daikon
  • 4 tablespoons yuzu juice
  • 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Furikake seasoning with plum and red shiso yukari
  • Shiso leaves or snipped chives
  • Fleur de sel and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Shell the scallops and rinse gently under cold running water. Using a sharp knife, slice the scallops into very thin rounds, making sure to cut crosswise.
  2. Rinse the daikon in cold water, then slice with a mandolin.
  3. Arrange the scallop slices alternately with the daikon slices on 4 flat plates.
  4. Pour one or two spoonfuls of olive oil and yuzu juice onto each plate.
  5. Season with fleur de sel and pepper. Add shiso leaves or snipped chives for a touch of freshness.
  6. Finally, sprinkle with furikake for color and a tangy taste.
  7. If you'd like to add a slight smoky touch, quickly run a blowtorch over the scallops to lightly mark them, without cooking them. This will add a visual effect and a slight toasted taste.
  8. You can serve immediately, or let the carpaccio rest in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before serving, to allow the flavors to blend and marinate slightly.
