Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams sushi-grade tuna
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 1 whole lime
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 1 whole fresno chili
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 10 grams microgreens
Instructions
Begin by preparing the citrus: Using a fine grater, zest the lemon and lime, avoiding the bitter white pith. Then, cut the lemon and lime in half and squeeze the juice into a small bowl. Set the zest and juice aside.
Next, slice the fresh chives finely and set aside. Thinly slice the fresno chili into rings; if you desire less heat, remove the seeds before slicing. Set these aside as well.
Prepare the tuna: Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the sushi-grade tuna into thin slices, aiming for pieces approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Arrange the tuna slices evenly on a serving plate. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the tuna slices.
Sprinkle the freshly squeezed lemon and lime juice over the tuna slices, ensuring each piece is lightly coated.
Evenly distribute the lemon and lime zest across the tuna, followed by an even sprinkling of sea salt and black pepper to season.
Garnish with the finely sliced chives and fresno chili rings, adding a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
Finish with a small handful of microgreens on top for a fresh, vibrant touch.
Serve immediately, allowing the flavors to meld while the tuna remains fresh and cool.
