TUNA SASHIMI WITH JALAPEñO

Tuna Sashimi with Jalapeño image

One of my all-time favorite dishes to order at sushi bars is albacore or yellowtail sashimi with ponzu-a citrus-based soy sauce-and jalapeño (though they sometimes add way too much sesame oil for my taste). The name changes from menu to menu, but no matter the title, I absolutely love it. Here's an at-home version that's a cinch to throw together and super-nutritious. It's perfect for you or to impress your sushi-loving guests. Though you might be tempted to omit the salt, I wouldn't recommend it. This is actually a great dish for exotic sea salt. A light sprinkle can add real depth to the dish.

Yield makes 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

4 ounces sashimi- or sushi-grade ahi tuna, cut into 8 equal slices
8 very thin jalapeño slices (rounds)
2 teaspoons ponzu sauce (look for it in the international section next to the soy sauce)
Sea salt, to taste

Steps:

Arrange the tuna slices on a plate so the slices are touching in the center and point outward (like a starburst pattern). Place a piece of jalapeño in the center of each tuna slice. Drizzle the ponzu evenly over the top. Season with salt. Serve immediately.
