2890. HALIBUT with YUZU and BACON AIOLI

quarter pound halibut, sushi grade, sliced into 2-inch by 1-inch pieces

1 cup bacon, rendered & fat reserved

1 egg yolk

1.5 tablespoons yuzu

1 tablespoon shallots, minced

1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped

1 tablespoon parsley fluid gel or purée

salt and pepper, to taste
 
scallion, chiffonade for garnish

To make aioli, whisk the yolk in a bowl until frothy. In a steady stream, add bacon fat to create an emulsification. Once thickened, add bacon bits, Yuzu, and shallots. Fold in cilantro. Adjust seasoning. Arrange fish on plate and drizzle with sauce, garnish with parsley, scallions and seaweed.
