Notes

Tuna tartare is made of raw sushi-grade tuna that has been cut into small cubes and then mixed with a sauce.
There are many ways that you can change up this recipe. You could try using salmon instead of Tuna or add diced mango or pineapple in avocado for some fresh sweetness.
Tuna tartare has a slightly sweet and tangy flavor, with a kick of spice from the sriracha. The Tuna itself has a very fresh flavor that is also rich with buttery undertones. What's great about Tuna tartare is that it picks up the flavors you marinade it with nicely.
Ceviche is a dish that is typically made with fish that has been "cooked" using acidic citrus juices, such as lime juice. The acidity in the citrus juice changes the structure of the proteins in the fish, giving it a cooked appearance.

Make sure you use fresh and quality sushi grade Ahi tuna for this recipe--very very important!
When you start to marinade the fish, don't let it sit there for more than 20-30 mins max. After that period of time, the fish starts to cure and the texture/taste changes dramatically.
When serving this recipe, it's best to find a mold or ramekin or small bowl with a flat bottom.
Make sure you oil the inside rims and bottom (if using a bowl or ramekin) very well with oil as this will allow the tartare to slip easily on to the plate.
