Ingredients

  • 6 oz fresh albacore tuna
  • 1/2 haas avocado
  • 1/3 cup ponzu
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • tbsp soy sauce
  • tsp ginger freshly grated

Instructions

  • Add ponzu, honey, soy sauce and ginger to a small bowl and whisk together. Set aside once ingredients are nicely mixed together.
  • Assuming you don't have a sashimi knife, use a sharp chef's knife to slice your tuna into thin slices. Make sure to start slicing your tuna as soon as you remove it from the fridge, it makes slicing much easier. Slices should be as slim as you can possibly make them without tearing the fish. Do your best to cut them into slices of similar length and width.
  • Once your avocado is peeled and core removed, slice avocado lengthways. Again try to slice avocado into similar sized slices.
  • Arrange your tuna and avocado on a plate or plates, as desired. You will see I alternated tuna with avocado in a layered fan presentation.
  • Slowly pour sauce over tuna and avocado and serve.

Notes

Feel free to get creative with your sashimi presentation. You can layer your avocado directly on top of the tuna, create a fan shape, or pile your tuna on one side of the plate and your avocado on the other. Go nuts!
