A Scandi take on sushi using lightly seared tuna served with a spicy salsa. An easy but impressive starter.
Method
-
Rub the tuna with a little olive oil and season with sea salt and black pepper. Heat a frying pan and fry the tuna briefly to the pan, so that it just simply gets a little browned on the outside (it should still be completely raw inside).
-
Slice the tuna as thinly as possible and lay out the slices on a serving dish.
-
Toast the pine nuts with a little salt in a dry frying pan. Mix the avocado and coriander with the pine nuts. Season with salt, black pepper and sesame oil.
-
For the dressing, mix half the jalapeño chilli pepper with the soy sauce and lemon juice. Spoon it over the fish. Garnish with the remaining jalapeño and serve.
