Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Sashimi-grade tuna
- 1 whole Avocado
- 1 whole Lime
- 1 whole Orange
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 1 whole Red chili pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Black sesame seeds
Instructions
Place the sashimi-grade tuna on a clean cutting board. Using a sharp knife, trim the tuna and cut it into small cubes or thin slices, depending on your preferred presentation. Set it aside in the refrigerator to keep it cold.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out. Dice it into small cubes. Set aside.
Zest the lime and orange into a small bowl, then juice both fruits into the same bowl. Discard the seeds.
To the citrus juice, add the soy sauce, sesame oil, and freshly grated ginger. Mix well to create the dressing.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro leaves and thinly slice the red chili pepper. Be sure to remove the seeds from the chili if you prefer less heat.
In a serving dish, arrange the tuna and avocado cubes. Drizzle the citrus-soy dressing evenly over the top.
Sprinkle the dish with the chopped cilantro, sliced red chili, sea salt, and black sesame seeds.
Serve immediately as a fresh, high-protein appetizer or light meal. Enjoy!
