To prepare the amberjack tartare with mango sauce, start with the bread. Slice it diagonally into slices about 1/4 inch thick 1, flatten them with a rolling pin 2, and arrange them on a baking tray. Round them and secure with a skewer 3.
Then toast them in the oven for about 5 minutes at 480°F; set aside 4. Meanwhile, move on to the mango sauce. Peel the mango with a vegetable peeler, choosing one that is not too ripe 5, and then cut it first into strips and then into cubes about 1/2 inch 6.
Peel and slice the ginger 7, then squeeze the lime juice 8 and orange juice 9.
Move to the stove. In a small pot, pour in the citrus juice 10, then the mango cubes and ginger slices 11. Season with a pinch of salt, the brown sugar 12,
chili powder 13 and turmeric powder 14. Turn on the burner and let it simmer over low heat for about ten minutes, stirring occasionally; you can add a few drops of water if you notice the liquid part is drying too quickly. At the end of cooking, remove the ginger 15,
and blend 16 until you get a smooth puree 17. Finally, prepare the amberjack fillets. Mince them 18,
until you get a very fine mince 19. Gather in a bowl and season with grated lemon zest 20, salt, pepper, oil 21.
Mix 22 and move on to plating. On the bottom of a plate, pour a spoonful of mango sauce 23, place a 2.75-inch diameter pastry ring in the center, and fill it with the tartare 24.
Finally, garnish with some chives cut with scissors 25, grate a bit more lemon zest 26, and your amberjack tartare with mango sauce is ready, serve with the bread 27.
