Tin Foil Home Special
This dish is inspired by my family’s favorite sushi place, Kintaro Japanese Restaurant. When a fire forced the closure of the restaurant, the Tanimotos’ still had a craving for this appetizer. We experimented with different vegetables, seafood, and sauces until we found something close to the Kintaro’s Tin Foil Special. Create your own unique “tin foil pan” to bake in and to serve – making for an easy cleanup!
Ingredients:
| 1 filet | ahi or salmon |
| 4-5 sticks | imitation crab |

| ½ cup | mayonnaise |
| 1-3 tsp | sriracha - depending on how spicy you want it |
| 1 tbsp | minced garlic |
| 1 tsp | shoyu |
| 1 slice | lemon wedge |
