Notes

  • The quality of your ingredients really matters. Use the freshest, best quality tuna, tomatoes, capers and extra virgin olive oil.
  • Keep your tuna cold at all times to maintain freshness.
  • Place the tuna in the freezer 30-60 minutes before cutting to make the flesh firmer and easier to slice.
  • For a restaurant worthy presentation, chill your plates into the refrigerator or freezer before serving.
  • Do not add the lemon juice or sea salt until right before serving so that it doesn't begin to cook or cure the tuna.
