Smoked Tuna Tartare
This tuna tartare puts our Sesame Crusted Smoked Ahi Tuna in the spotlight—diced fresh and dressed simply to let the smoked tuna’s clean, savory depth shine. A mix of sanbaizu, onion, and yuzu oil adds brightness and balance, while thinly sliced chili and lemon zest bring a subtle kick and citrusy lift. Finished with chopped cilantro for a fresh, herbal note, it’s a modern, no-fuss take on a timeless dish.
Light, elegant, and flavor-forward, this tartare proves that smoked tuna can go beyond the expected. Whether served with crisp cucumber rounds, tortilla chips, or plated as a composed appetizer, it’s an easy way to bring restaurant-quality flavor home. Just slice, mix, and serve—no cooking required.
Directions
Prepare the Tartare: In a medium bowl, gently combine diced tuna, red and white onion, cucumber, avocado, cilantro, chilis, and lemon zest. Mix lightly. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Plate the Tartare: Add yuzu oil and sanbaizu to the serving bowl. Form the tuna tartare mixture into a small mound in the middle of the bowl, allowing the liquid dressing to form a moat around.
Garnish & Serve: Finish with an extra drizzle of yuzu oil and chopped cilantro. Optionally, you can garnish with sesame seeds, additional cilantro, and microgreens. Serve immediately.
