Sashimi with Ponzu, Ginger and Elderberry Dressing

The key to this dish is super fresh fish so take your fishmongers advice or better still catch it yourself. You can serve it with various garnishes like cucumber, spring onion and fragrant herbs but it’s all about the fish.

Unripened green tomatoes have a great acidity that works well with oily fish like sardines and they have a nice firm texture that gives a nice crunchy texture. I’ve used bladder wrack seaweed on the open fire here but at home you can simply grill or barbeque them.
