Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams fresh sushi-grade tuna
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil mayonnaise (Paleo-friendly)
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (Paleo-friendly)
- 1 teaspoon coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon green onions, finely sliced
- 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 avocado, diced
- 0.5 lime, juiced
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
- 4 seaweed sheets or nori (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Using a sharp knife, dice the fresh sushi-grade tuna into small cube-sized pieces and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the avocado oil mayonnaise, sriracha, and coconut aminos until smooth to create your Paleo spicy sauce.
In a medium-sized bowl, gently toss the diced tuna with the spicy sauce until evenly coated. Add the lime juice and mix lightly.
Prepare your garnishes: thinly slice the cucumber, dice the avocado, and finely slice the green onions.
To serve, divide the spicy tuna mixture into two portions. Serve on a plate or in a shallow bowl with the cucumber slices and diced avocado arranged on the side.
Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Optional: Serve the spicy tuna along with seaweed sheets or nori for scooping for a fun, Paleo-style hand roll experience!
