As such, it’s a versatile ingredient that can be cooked up in multiple mouthwatering ways - whether you're grilling or searing for sushi/sashimi dishes, tossing into hearty pastas and salads with various sauces (i.e., tomato-based dressings or cream), or eaten alone with lemon and olive oil drizzled on top.
