Ingredients
  

  • ¾ lb tuna akami, sushi grade
  • ½ red onion diced
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • 1 tablespoon crispy shallots
  • 2 tablespoon yuzu concentrate
  • 2 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

  • Maldon salt to taste

Equipment

  • Sharp chef’s knife
  • Serving plate
  • Squeeze bottle or small jar with lid

Method
 

  1. Slice tuna against the grain into ¼ inch slices, then cut into ¼ inch strips. Set aside.
  2. Dice the red onion and set aside.
  3. Combine yuzu concentrate, rice wine vinegar, minced garlic, and a pinch of Maldon salt in a small squeeze bottle. Shake to mix.
  4. Slowly drizzle in ⅓ of the olive oil while shaking, repeat until all olive oil is incorporated and emulsified.
  5. Plate the tuna slices spaced out on a serving dish.
  6. Drizzle the yuzu vinaigrette over the fish evenly.
  7. Garnish with capers and diced red onion.
  8. Finish with a drizzle of the best extra virgin olive oil you have and a sprinkle of Maldon salt. Top with crispy shallots for crunch.

Notes

Storage: This is raw fish dressed in citrus, so it's best plated and eaten right away. If prepping ahead, keep the sliced tuna and the vinaigrette separate and chilled, then dress just before serving.
