Ingredients

• 8 oz sashimi-grade ahi tuna
• 2 tbsp coconut aminos
• 1.5 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 2 tsp sambal oelek (or Paleo-approved chili paste)
• 1.5 tbsp avocado oil mayonnaise
• 2 stalks green onions (sliced thinly)
• 0.5 cup cucumber (diced)
• 1 medium ripe avocado (diced)
• 3 small radishes (thinly sliced)
• 0.25 tsp sea salt
• 0.5 tsp black sesame seeds
• 1 sheet nori sheets (cut into thin strips, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the ahi tuna. Using a sharp knife, cut the sashimi-grade ahi tuna into small, 1/2-inch cubes. Place the cubes in a medium mixing bowl and set aside in the fridge.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, sesame oil, lime juice, sambal oelek, and avocado oil mayonnaise until well combined. This creates the spicy marinade for the tuna.

Step 3

Remove the prepared tuna from the fridge and pour the marinade over the cubes. Gently toss the tuna until all pieces are evenly coated in the marinade. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 4

While the tuna marinates, prepare the toppings. Dice the cucumber, dice the avocado, thinly slice the radishes, slice the green onions, and (if using) cut the nori sheet into thin strips.

Step 5

Season the marinated tuna with a pinch of sea salt to taste. Gently stir to ensure even seasoning.

Step 6

To assemble, divide the marinated tuna between two serving bowls. Top each portion with cucumber, avocado, radishes, and green onions. Sprinkle black sesame seeds over the top for added texture and garnish with nori strips, if desired.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a fresh Paleo appetizer or light meal. Enjoy!
