Ingredients
- ¼ cup red onion - minced
- 12 ounces ahi tuna - small cubes
- 1 orange - 1 teaspoon orange zest and juice
- 1 lime - zest and juice
- 2 teaspoons ají amarillo paste
- 1 tablespoon ponzu - tamari, or soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 avocado - diced
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro - leaves only
Instructions
- Optional step - Soak the minced red onion in an ice water bath with a palmful of fine sea salt while continuing the prep.
- Whisk together the juices and zest, ají amarillo paste, ponzu or soy sauce, and sea, sesame oil in a bowl large enough to hold both the ahi tuna and the onion.
- Add the tuna to the marinade. Add onion (if using) and chopped cilantro. Stir well to combine.
- To a small serving bowl, add diced avocado, then spoon the tuna mixture over top. Make sure you include plenty of marinade, as it will moisten the avocado as well. Garnish as desired, and enjoy!
