Instant Pot Hamachi Confit

A simple way to eat an expensive fish

Instant Pot Hamachi Confit

Hamachi is extremely expensive. So you dont want to over season it. You want to taste  Hamachi and NOT some overpowering spice blend.
Confiting it in oil and simple seasonings keeps it from being dry and letting you taste the fish.
Plus it keeps longer in the fridge.

1 fillet of Hamachi (or 2 lbs of Tuna)

3 T soy sauce

1 t chopped fresh ginger

1 t salt

3 T sugar
1 T Sake
2 T Mirin

Mix all of the above until dissolved, pour into a ziplock and add the Hamachi.
Push air out of bag and seal.
Refrigerate 2 days.

2 T Sesame Oil

4+ cups Grapeseed Oil

Open the bag up and scrape off the ginger, place the Hamachi in the Instant Pot, cover with Grapeseed Oil and the 2 T of sesame oil.

Close the top, turn the vent to the side and turn it on to Slow Cook>Low>6 Hours.

When its done, carefully remove it to a container and cover with the cooking oil. It has to be under oil to keep fresh.

This fish is in the tuna family and is best served simply or with crackers and onion and mayo
