Ingredients
- 8 ounces fresh sushi-grade ahi tuna fillet
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 0.5 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, for garnish
Directions
Step 1
Begin by dicing the fresh ahi tuna fillet into small cubes, about 1/4 inch in size. Set aside in a cold bowl to keep chilled.
Step 2
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Dice it into similar-sized cubes as the tuna.
Step 3
Finely chop the red onion and fresh cilantro. Grate the fresh ginger.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the lime juice, coconut aminos, sesame oil (if using), grated ginger, sea salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.
Step 5
Add the diced tuna, avocado, chopped red onion, and cilantro into the bowl with the lime juice mixture. Gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Step 6
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 7
Serve the tuna tartare immediately on chilled plates or small appetizer bowls. Garnish with sesame seeds and additional cilantro if desired.
