Ingredients

• 225 grams sushi-grade ahi tuna
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 small cucumber
• 1 medium avocado
• 0.25 cup red onion
• 2 stalks scallions
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups mixed greens (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by cutting the sushi-grade ahi tuna into small cubes, approximately 1.5 cm (1/2 inch) in size. Place the cubed tuna into a mixing bowl and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, prepare the marinade by whisking together the extra virgin olive oil, low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, red chili flakes, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the cubed tuna, gently tossing to coat all the pieces evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 4

While the tuna marinates, prepare the vegetables. Thinly slice the cucumber into half-moons, dice the avocado into bite-sized chunks, finely chop the red onion, and slice the scallions into thin rings.

Step 5

Remove the marinated tuna from the refrigerator and fold in the prepared cucumber, avocado, red onion, and most of the scallions (reserve a small portion for garnish).

Step 6

Transfer the poke mixture to a serving bowl or plate. Sprinkle the top with toasted sesame seeds and the reserved scallion slices.

Step 7

If desired, serve over a bed of mixed greens for added texture and nutrients. Enjoy immediately.
