Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 8 oz finely diced fresh snow tuna, 1 medium diced ripe avocado, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, 1 tbsp lime juice, 2 tbsp finely chopped scallions, 1 tsp finely grated ginger, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp cracked black pepper.
Step 2: Gently fold the mixture with a rubber spatula until evenly combined, taking care not to mash the avocado; the tartare should remain chunky and vibrant.
Step 3: Divide the tartare evenly onto 4 small plates or serving dishes, shaping it into neat mounds.
Step 4: Garnish each serving with thin strips of 4 nori sheets and an extra sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
Step 5: Serve immediately with soy sauce and wasabi on the side if desired.
