This Tuna Tartare is the ultimate summer appetizer made with the freshest sushi-grade tuna and tossed in a delicious Asian sauce. It is served chilled and pairs well with wonton crackers or tortilla chips.

The first time I had tuna tartare was in the Florida keys about 10 years ago. I always loved eating sushi, but usually that was due to the fact that it was covered in rice. I tried tuna tartare and I was so in love with the combination of the soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey. What a treat!

What you will need:

  • Fresh Tuna: This tuna must be sushi grade. I would go to your local fish market to get the freshest quality tuna. To not buy previously frozen tuna!
  • Sesame seeds: I used everything but the bagel seasoning since I didn’t have sesame seeds, which works wonders.
  • Avocado: You will need one ripe avocado. Pick a dark green to nearly black avocado with a bumpy texture and firm but not mushy.
  • Cucumber: Peel the cucumber and then core the seeds. Use the hard part of the cucumber.
  • Soy Sauce: I used light soy sauce instead of dark soy sauce.
  • Sesame oil: You can buy sesame oil in the ethnic food section of your grocery store.
  • Honey: I used pure honey, although any kind works.
  • Lime: For best flavor, use fresh limes and not store bought lime juice.

How to make Tuna Tartare

Add the sauce into a bowl and mix. Pour in the diced tuna and mix together.

Pour in the tuna into a ramekin and then place the diced avocado and cucumber into it. Use a fork to press the ingredients down into the ramekin.

Place a plate on top of the ramekin and flip it, the way you would a Spanish tortilla.

Enjoy alone or with wonton crackers or tortilla chips.
