AHI TUNA PARFAIT WITH WASABI TOBIKO VINAIGRETTE

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AHI

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the tuna, cucumber, avocado, green onion, red pepper flakes and sesame seeds. Pour in the lemon juice, sesame oil and soy sauce, and stir carefully to blend so as not to mash the avocado. Place this bowl into a larger bowl that has been filled with ice. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, but no longer - the terrific freshness of the fish will be lost.
• Once chilled, remove the bowl from the ice, and invert onto a serving plate. Serve with toasted bread or your favorite crackers.

PARFAIT OF SALMON AND TUNA TARTARE, CAVIAR AND CREME FRAICHE

Steps:

• Combine the shallots and 1 TBS of olive oil in a small saucepan, and saute until the shallots are translucent.
• In a medium bowl sitting on a bed of ice, combine half of the sweated shallots, all the tuna, half of the mustard oil, half of the lemon zest, all the soy sauce, 1 Tbs of the olive oil and all the coriander.
• Lightly season with coarse salt, season generously with the white pepper, mixing well with a large spoon.
• In another medium bowl sitting on a bed of ice, combine the remaining shallots, mustard oil, lemon zest, and salmon.
• Mix with the remaining olive oil, horseradish, capers, chives, and salt and pepper to taste, and mix until all ingredients are combined.
• Line a sheet pan with waxed or parchment paper and lightly oil with fingers the inside of ten, 2 inch high by 2 inch diameter metal rings or molds, placing the molds on the sheet.
• Place 1 1/2 TBS of the tuna mixture in each of the ten molds, making sure to smooth the mixture with the back of a spoon.
• If available, press down with the bottom of a Worcestershire or Tabasco bottle.
• Then place 1 1/2 TBS of the salmon mixture on top, pressing down and smoothing the salmon mixture with the back of the spoon.
• Spoon approximately 1/2 teaspoon of oestra caviar on on half of the top of the salmon and approximately 1/2 teaspoon of salmon roe caviar on the other half, smoothing with the back of the spoon.
• Whip the creme fraiche until thick, stiff peaks are formed.
• Add 2 TBS of the creme fraiche, smoothing with the blade of a flat knife or small metal spatula, making sure that the creme fraiche is level with the top of the mold.
• Chill the molds in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, but preferably for 2 to 3 hours.
• To serve, place each ring or mold on a dinner plate, and gently remove the mold by pulling ring upward, leaving the parfait intact.
• Garnish each parfait with one long chive spear placed at an angle over the parfait.

SEARED TUNA WITH CAVIAR

Steps:

• Brush egg white on all sides of the tuna with a pastry brush.
• Mix the ground pepper and coriander and press the tuna into this mixture, using as much of it as necessary to cover each side and the ends.
• Heat a heavy saute pan and pour about half of the oil into the pan. Bring to the smoking point and carefully place the tuna in the pan. Sear each side until dark brown and crusty, adding more oil if needed to keep the tuna from sticking. Sear the ends as well. Each side should take about one to one and a half minutes. Remove the tuna and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
• Using a very sharp knife, cut the tuna into one-half- to one-third-inch slices, allowing three slices per serving.
• Arrange the dressed salad greens on each of eight plates at 12 o'clock.
• In a semicircle, overlap three slices of tuna below the greens, with the top edges of tuna resting on the salad. At the base of each piece of tuna, place a dollop of the sauce.
