Method

Dice the tuna into 1cm cubes. Mix the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil and ginger paste together, then taste and season with a squeeze of lime juice.
Dice the avocado the same size as the tuna, then mix with the dressing, fish and chopped coriander. Divide between two plates, using a metal ring if you want to be extra cheffy and neat. Finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and serve.

The fish is eaten raw, so it’s essential to use the freshest, best quality fish you can get from the fishmonger (legally it must first have been frozen) in this recipe.
