Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Tuna

Slice the fresh tuna loin into thin sashimi-style slices, about 1/4 inch thick. Place them on a serving plate and set aside.

2

Garlic Preparation

Finely mince the garlic cloves. In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic with soy sauce, sesame oil, and lemon juice to create a marinade.

3

Marinate the Tuna

Drizzle the marinade over the sliced tuna and let it marinate for about 10 minutes.

Cooking

4

Crispy Coating

In a shallow dish, spread the panko breadcrumbs evenly. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil. Once hot, take each marinated tuna slice and coat it in the panko breadcrumbs.

5

Fry the Tuna

Fry the panko-coated tuna slices for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

Serving

6

Plate the Dish

Arrange the crispy garlic tuna sashimi on a serving platter. Garnish with chopped green onions, microgreens, and sprinkle sesame seeds and red chili flakes on top.

7

Serve

Serve immediately with extra soy sauce on the side for dipping.
