Ingredients

• 250 grams sushi-grade tuna
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 whole lemon
• 1 whole lime
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives
• 1 whole fresno chili
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 10 grams microgreens

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the citrus: Using a fine grater, zest the lemon and lime, avoiding the bitter white pith. Then, cut the lemon and lime in half and squeeze the juice into a small bowl. Set the zest and juice aside.

Step 2

Next, slice the fresh chives finely and set aside. Thinly slice the fresno chili into rings; if you desire less heat, remove the seeds before slicing. Set these aside as well.

Step 3

Prepare the tuna: Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the sushi-grade tuna into thin slices, aiming for pieces approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Step 4

Arrange the tuna slices evenly on a serving plate. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the tuna slices.

Step 5

Sprinkle the freshly squeezed lemon and lime juice over the tuna slices, ensuring each piece is lightly coated.

Step 6

Evenly distribute the lemon and lime zest across the tuna, followed by an even sprinkling of sea salt and black pepper to season.

Step 7

Garnish with the finely sliced chives and fresno chili rings, adding a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Step 8

Finish with a small handful of microgreens on top for a fresh, vibrant touch.

Step 9

Serve immediately, allowing the flavors to meld while the tuna remains fresh and cool.
