Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces sushi-grade tuna loin
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Juice and zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of 1 orange
- 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and drained
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano)
- 1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Optional: thinly sliced red chili, microgreens, or shaved fennel for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Tuna
- Place the tuna loin in the freezer for 10–15 minutes. This will firm it up, making it easier to slice.
- Using a very sharp knife, slice the tuna into thin pieces, about 1/8-inch thick. Arrange the slices on a chilled platter or individual plates in a single layer.
Step 2: Make the Dressing
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, orange juice, lemon zest, sea salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 3: Assemble the Crudo
- Drizzle the citrus-olive oil dressing evenly over the tuna slices.
- Sprinkle the capers, parsley, and oregano over the tuna for added flavor.
Step 4: Garnish and Chill
- Add optional garnishes such as thinly sliced red chili for heat, microgreens for freshness, or shaved fennel for crunch.
- Cover loosely with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 5: Serve
- Remove from the refrigerator and serve immediately. Pair with crusty bread, grissini, or a side of arugula salad for a complete dish.
