Smoked Tuna Aguachile
This smoked tuna aguachile is a bright, herbaceous celebration of fresh flavor and beautiful ingredients. Featuring delicately sliced Sesame Crusted Smoked Ahi Tuna from Acme Smoked Fish, the dish is bathed in a chilled cucumber, cilantro, and serrano broth that brings just the right balance of spice and vibrancy. Radish, red onion, and cucumber add texture and color, while citrus zest lifts everything to a refreshing finish.

Directions
Make the Broth: In a blender, combine the 1/2 cucumber, cilantro, serrano, lime juice, vinegar, olive oil, water, and salt. Blend until smooth and vibrant green. Taste and adjust seasoning. Strain through a fine mesh sieve for a cleaner presentation, or leave unstrained for a rustic texture. Chill until ready to serve.
Assemble the Dish: Lay slices of smoked tuna in a shallow bowl or plate. Spoon chilled aguachile broth around the tuna.
Garnish: Arrange radish and cucumber ribbons in the aguachile broth around the tuna. Top with minced red onion, minced cucumber, lime zest, and fresh cilantro leaves. Serve immediately. Tortilla chips or tostadas on the side optional.
