Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces sushi-grade tuna
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 2 small radish, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.25 cup microgreens (optional)
Instructions
Place the sushi-grade tuna in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to firm up slightly. This will make it easier to slice.
While the tuna is chilling, prepare the marinade by whisking together the lemon zest, lemon juice, orange juice, olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes in a small bowl.
Remove the tuna from the freezer and, using a very sharp knife, slice it into thin pieces about 1/8-inch thick.
Arrange the tuna slices evenly on a large plate or platter, slightly overlapping them for a beautiful presentation.
Drizzle the prepared marinade over the tuna slices, ensuring each piece is lightly coated.
Garnish the tuna with thinly sliced radish, fresh cilantro leaves, and optional microgreens if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this light, dairy-free appetizer!
