Tiradito is a classic from Ensenada and other places in Mexico. It's all about enjoying fresh, raw fish with a light and spicy Asian-inspired sauce. We are using our Serranos Toreados brine because it already has so much flavour that makes it the perfect condiment to build upon a dish like this. Highly recommend it with corn tortilla chips or on its own. Fresh, easy, and full of flavour dish.

-250g sashimi grade tuna
-¼ onion, finely sliced
-1 jalapeno, finely sliced

1 In a small bowl, whisk together all the salsa ingredients and season to taste.
2 Thinly slice the tuna onto even-sized slices. Arrange flat or slightly one on top of the other on a plate.
3 Arrange the cucumber, radish, avocado, and jalapeno slices to your liking, making sure they will all get exposure to the salsa and that it is easy to take a bit of everything at a time.
4 Pour over the salsa with a spoon and let it pool to the side. Serve the rest of the salsa in a small bowl for extra dipping.
5 Top the tuna with the finely sliced onions and a few sesame seeds on top.
