Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Yellowtail

    Using a sharp knife, cut the yellowtail fish into small cubes (about 1/4 inch). Make sure the fish is fresh and sushi-grade for safety.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Jalapeño

    Slice the jalapeño in half, remove the seeds (if you prefer less heat), and finely chop it. Adjust the quantity based on your heat preference.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it gently with a fork until slightly chunky.

Mixing

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cubed yellowtail, chopped jalapeño, mashed avocado, yuzu juice, and soy sauce. Gently fold the ingredients together to avoid mashing the fish and avocado.

Plating

  1. 5

    Plate the Tartare

    Using a ring mold or a small bowl, scoop the tartare mixture into the center of a plate. Gently press down to shape it. Remove the mold carefully.

  2. 6

    Garnish

    Top the tartare with microgreens and sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired for extra flavor and presentation.
