Healthy Eats: Tuna Tartare Recipe
A few weeks ago, boxer and personal trainer Dillon Hanson shared with ZOZOFIT his go-to chicken and potato bake recipe (which you can find HERE), and now Dillon's back with even more healthy eats today: his delectable tuna tartare recipe which he describes as "a really healthy dish with great source of protein and omega-three fatty acids."Â
Check out how to make Dillon's tuna tartare recipe below:
Ingredients:
1 pound of Ahi Tuna (fresh, sushi grade tuna fillet)
For The Marinade:
1 teaspoon ginger grated
1 teaspoon garlic grated
11/2 Tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon lime juice
2 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce
2 teaspoons cilantro minced
2 tablespoons scallions minced
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce (optional)
3 tablespoons sesame seeds (mixed white and black sesame)
For the Avocado Mixture:
2 avocado diced
2 teaspoons lime juice
3 tablespoons scallions minced
1 tablespoon sesame oil or any neutral oil
Salt (as desired)
Â
Always make sure your knife is sharp when cutting fresh tuna.
Dillon's Directions:
First, start by patting your fish dry with a paper towel. Then, cut the Tuna into small cubes (about 1 cm cubed) using a sharp knife. Tuna is very fleshy and could loose its shape or texture of you cut through it with a dull knife - so make sure you use a sharp knife!
Â
Next, it’s time to make the sauce. In a separate bowl, mix together ginger, garlic, sweet chili, soy sauce, scallions, sriracha (if desired), cilantro, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and lime juice.
Â
Once the sauce is mixed together, add it to the bowl with the Tuna and mix everything together until coated, and let it sit for 15- 25 minutes. Note: do not let your fish marinate more than 30 minutes as you will end up with a cured fish rather than a tartare.
Â
Now, it's time to prepare your avocado mixture. Add the cubed avocado in a separate bowl, and then add in the lime juice, scallions, oil, sesame seeds, and salt, and mix everything together until it's well blended.
Â
When complete, you can then serve your tuna tartare with pita chips or cucumber rounds for a super tasty and impressive dish that's also very good for you.
