Tuna Tataki
Pane-bistecca
Tuna tataki is a traditional Japanese dish that emphasizes the freshness and quality of the fish.
The name “tataki” means that the outside of the fish is lightly seared while the rawness inside is preserved. This unique cooking technique brings out the natural flavors of the tuna and creates a harmonious blend of texture and taste. Tuna tataki is usually served with a strong citrus and soy sauce and a yoghurt dip.
I served my tuna tataki with salad and a light sauce of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Marinating sashimi-grade tuna for 30 minutes might alter the texture too much—could a shorter marination be more balanced?
Of course, you can marinate shorter, it is up to you, how you want your tuna fish to be.
I like the fish marinated well.
