Fish Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ahi Tuna

    Using a sharp knife, dice the ahi tuna into small cubes, about 1/4 inch in size. Place the diced tuna in a mixing bowl.

    Prepare the Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the bowl with the tuna. Dice the avocado into small pieces similar in size to the tuna.

    Prepare the Cucumber

    Peel the cucumber and slice it in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds with a spoon and then dice the cucumber into small cubes. Add to the mixing bowl.

Flavoring Ingredients

    Mix the Flavorings

    In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, lemon juice, wasabi paste, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.

  2. 5

    Add Flavorings to the Fish

    Pour the flavoring mixture over the diced tuna, avocado, and cucumber in the mixing bowl. Gently fold the mixture together until everything is well coated.

    Finely chop the green onions and cilantro, then add them to the mixing bowl. Gently mix to incorporate.
