Preparation of Tuna

Start by ensuring that your yellowfin tuna is sushi-grade and very fresh. Rinse it under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.

Mixing Ingredients

Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, and lime juice to the bowl with the diced tuna. Gently toss to combine all the ingredients, being careful not to mash the tuna.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Preparing Avocado

While the tuna is marinating, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.

Plating
- 7
To serve, place a spoonful of the mashed avocado on the plate, then top with a generous portion of the marinated tuna tartare.
- 8
Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the top for added texture and flavor. If using, add a handful of microgreens on top for garnish.

Serve immediately, and enjoy your fresh and vibrant tuna tartare!
