I tried out this recipe for a dinner party I hosted last weekend and it was such a hit! I love fish and especially sushi, but I had always been intimidated making tartar myself so I had never tried. This recipe is so easy and delicious! I will be making this regularly now for sure!

Hi, Jess - This was a great recipe, and we will definitely make it again!

Next time, we will try using finely chopped fruit (maybe grapefruit or mango) and roasting the garlic, since we enjoyed those variations at restaurants near us.

One important request: Can you please change the font size and font color used for the printed recipe? We have tried to print this recipe for our recipe book, and the final printout is a very light gray that is also so thin it is barely readable, even with super-high resolution printing.

Thanks!

This recipe is amazing. Thank you so much

I made this tonight and it was outstanding. This is a keeper for sure.

I am getting ready to make either salmon tartare or tuna tartare for a party.  I've been scared as I've read so much about raw fish causing people to get very ill.  I had always thought that the marinade basically "cooked" the fish.  Is tuna tartare safer to go with than salmon?  I would think they're basically the same.......

Rating it based on the sauce.......wonderful!  One question.  What is the difference between a spring onion and a green onion?  Thanks!

Great delicious recipe! Quick question: do you use both the stem and the bulb of the spring onion?

Wow, this was a hit with every adult at our dinner party - so easy to make and impressive to serve! I made it with freshly caught blue fin tuna from the San Diego/Baja region.
I love the layered look, but the ramekin method is a bit messy bec it doesn't want to come out. I will try a ring next time made out of a tunafish can.  This recipe is a keeper, thank you!

The original recipe is great already.  You may want to try replacing the  sesame oil with olive. I like more with olive as somehow the smell of sesame oil is not combined well for my taste  here with the other ingredients, but my wife prefers  the original version, so swapping the oils from time to time :) It also goes well with very young marrow instead of cucumber if you want to experiment.

I made this twice and I loved both times. I bought the tuna at Trader Joe’s and it already had the sesame seeds on it. I used less soy sauce though to keep sodium down. I would highly recommend making this. 

Excellent!
I just made this but made a few changes, reduced the honey and oil.
Added jalapenos and removed the avocado (out of season).
Enjoying this rather with a glass of off-dry Australian Riesling.
