Ingredients
  • 1 LB fresh ahi or albacore tuna
  • 1/4 cup dark sweet soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 1/4 cup mirin wine
  • 1 15 oz Artichoke hearts in water, drained and chopped 3/4"
  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup celery, diced
  • 2 Tbsp capers with juice, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp serrano pepper, seeded and chopped fine
  • 2 Tbsp stone ground mustard
  • Juice of half of a lemon
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • Kosher salt & coarse pepper, as needed
Instructions
  1. 1
    In a small bowl combine soy sauce, mirin and garlic and stir to mix
  2. 2
    Place tuna in a sealable zipper bag and add the marinade. Remove air and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is fine too)
  3. 3

  4. 4
    Move the tuna over to a preheated BBQ grill and sear until the internal temp on the tuna is 150° F checked with a thermometer. Cooking hotter will result in dry tuna
  5. 5
    Remove the tuna and allow to cool until manageable to handle. It does not need to be fully cooled
  6. 6
    Slice the tuna against the grain about 1/2" thick and crumble with your hands into manageable pieces
  7. 7
    Add the artichokes, onion, celery, capers, parsley, serrano pepper, mustard, lemon juice and mayo and mix thoroughly
  8. 8
    Check for seasoning and add salt and pepper as needed
