Chill the sushi-grade tuna in the refrigerator until ready to use, as this helps keep the fish firm and easier to slice.
Using a very sharp knife, slice the tuna into thin pieces, about 1/8-inch thick. Arrange the slices evenly on a chilled serving plate.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, orange juice, and olive oil to create a light citrus vinaigrette.
Drizzle the citrus vinaigrette over the sliced tuna, ensuring each piece is lightly coated.
Finely chop the chives and dill, and sprinkle them evenly over the tuna slices.
Add the thinly sliced radish and diced avocado to the plate, spreading them artfully around the tuna for texture and visual appeal.
Top the dish with a small handful of microgreens for extra flavor and color.
Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper over the entire dish to taste. Avoid salt to keep the recipe low-sodium.
Serve immediately as a light appetizer or main course. Enjoy the delicate balance of flavors and textures in this low-sodium tuna crudo.
