Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bluefin Otoro

    Carefully slice the Bluefin Otoro into thin pieces, about 1/4 inch thick. Arrange on a serving plate.

  2. 2

    Add Seasoning

    Sprinkle sea salt evenly over the sliced tuna and drizzle with fresh lemon juice. Let it marinate for about 5 minutes to enhance the flavor.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Torch the Tuna

    Using a culinary torch, gently sear the surface of each slice of Bluefin Otoro until it is slightly charred and the fat begins to melt. Be careful not to overdo it; you want it to remain tender.

Serving

  1. 4

    Plate with Caviar

    Top each slice of torched Bluefin Otoro with a small amount of caviar. Garnish with finely chopped chives for a pop of color and flavor.

  2. 5

    Final Presentation

    Serve immediately while warm on a chilled plate. Enjoy as a delicacy!
