Tuna & Salmon Tartare with Yuzu Mayo

A plate with diced raw salmon and tuna on a creamy sauce, topped with black sesame seeds, served with sheets of seaweed on the side.

This is the perfect elevated way to serve a tartare, and you don’t have to choose between salmon or tuna! Just slightly truffle-infused but full of other flavors. Serve with nori crisps, white rice, or wonton chips!

Tuna & Salmon Tartare with Yuzu Mayo

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces Sushi-grade tuna diced
  • 6 ounces Sushi-grade salmon diced
  • ¼-½ tsp Truffle oil *adjust amount to your liking*
  • ½ tbsp Soy sauce
  • ½ tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Scallions sliced or minced
  • Black sesame seeds for garnish
  • 5-8 Nori chips for serving, optional

Yuzu Mayo

  • ¼ cup Mayonnaise Japanese or homemade preferred
  • 1 tsp Yuzu juice or lemon
  • ½ tsp Sriracha

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced salmon and tuna with ½ tbsp soy sauce, ¼-½ tsp truffle oil, 1/2 tbsp olive oil, and 1 tbsp scallions. Mix until well combined. Place in the fridge to marinate while prepping the remaining recipe.
  • In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup mayonnaise with 1 teaspoon of yuzu or lemon juice and ½ teaspoon of sriracha. Mix until fully combined. Taste and add salt or yuzu juice as needed.
  • To serve, place 3-4 scoops of the yuzu mayo mixture onto a plate or bowl. Then, gently place a few scoops of the marinated tuna and salmon on top of the mayonnaise. Garnish with a small pinch of black sesame seeds, and serve with crispy nori chips to the side.

Tips & Variations:

  • Substitute yuzu juice with lemon juice.
  • Truffle oil can be omitted if you don’t like it, or increased if you love it.
  • Sriracha amount can be increased as well, but it may overpower the other flavors.
