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)

Directions

Step 1

Place the sushi-grade tuna in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to firm up slightly. This will make it easier to slice.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Remove the tuna from the freezer and, using a very sharp knife, slice it into thin pieces about 1/8-inch thick.

Step 4

Arrange the tuna slices evenly on a large plate or platter, slightly overlapping them for a beautiful presentation.

Step 5

Drizzle the prepared marinade over the tuna slices, ensuring each piece is lightly coated.

Step 6

Garnish the tuna with thinly sliced radish, fresh cilantro leaves, and optional microgreens if desired.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy this light, dairy-free appetizer!
