Ahi Tuna Tartare

The omega-3 acids in fatty fish contribute to heart health. I love this fast tuna recipe served as an hors d'oeuvre or shaped as a decorative mound in the middle of a salad plate. Surround it with baby greens in vinaigrette for a celebration of spring.

1/2 cup canola oil
zest of 2 lemons
1 package of fresh wonton wrappers
1 pound Ahi grade tuna
1/2 cup green onions
1 ripe avocado
1 ounce Tobiko caviar
kosher salt
white pepper
few drops hot sauce (optional)

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees C.

Purée canola oil and lemon zest in food processor or blender at high speed for 2 minutes. Let sit for 30 minutes and then strain out the lemon zest.

Spray a mini muffin pan with a neutral oil. Cut rounds of the wonton wrappers to extend slightly above the pan rims. Bake for 10 minutes or until crisp and golden.

Finely chop the tuna. Mix with 2 tablespoons of canola oil, the green onions, and the avocado. Season with kosher salt and white pepper. Top with a small amount of Tobiko caviar.
