Ingredients

  1. 150g tuna saku, thinly sliced
  2. 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  3. 1 tbsp lemon juice
  4. 1 tsp capers, drained
  5. Sea salt, to taste
  6. Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  7. Fresh dill or parsley, for garnish
  8. Lemon wedges, to serve

Method

  1. Start by thinly slicing the Saku tuna into delicate, paper-thin pieces. Arrange the slices neatly and evenly on a large plate or platter, ensuring they are spread out without overlapping to showcase the beautiful texture of the tuna.
  2. In a small bowl, combine freshly squeezed lime juice, capers, and olive oil. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended, creating a smooth vinaigrette. The tangy lime and briny capers will add a burst of flavour to the tuna.
  3. Once the vinaigrette is ready, drizzle it generously over the tuna slices, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Let the tuna absorb the vinaigrette for a few moments, enhancing its flavours and creating a perfect balance of tang and richness.
  4. Top the tuna carpaccio with thinly sliced red onions for a mild crunch and a pop of colour. Garnish with a handful of your favourite greens, such as arugula or mixed baby leaves, to add freshness and balance the dish's richness.
  5. Serve the tuna carpaccio immediately, alongside crunchy baguette slices. The crispy bread adds texture and complements the tender tuna.
    Enjoy this elegant, light dish as an appetizer or main course with friends and family.

Chef's Tip

For delicate and elegant tuna carpaccio, use extremely fresh, chilled tuna and slice it as thinly as possible with a very sharp knife to preserve its smooth texture and clean appearance. The dressing should lightly enhance the tuna rather than overpower it, allowing the natural richness and buttery flavour of the fish to remain the hero of the dish. Add the vinaigrette just before serving so the tuna stays silky and fresh, and finish with a sprinkle of sea salt and cracked pepper to elevate the flavour beautifully.
