TUNA SASHIMI WITH HEARTS OF PALM
At Nobu Downtown in New York's financial district, the menu is divided into classics, like black cod with miso, and the rock shrimp tempura, alongside a list of new dishes called "Nobu Now." Among the newcomers is tuna sashimi with a verdant jalapeño dressing garnished with fresh hearts of palm. This dish, at once delicate, bold and handsomely textured, clearly illustrates the chef Nobu Matsuhisa's cross-cultural approach to food. For him, Japan and South America are not an ocean apart. Another way to serve this sashimi is to dice the tuna into small pieces as you would for tartare, and fold in finely chopped hearts of palm or daikon and some of the dressing, mounding each portion on a plate with a few sprigs of microgreens on top.

Steps:
- Place chiles, garlic and salt in a food processor and process until very finely minced. Scrape down sides of container. With the machine running, slowly add the oil through the feed tube and process until thickened. Add vinegar and process about a minute, until fairly smooth. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate.
- Cut the tuna into 2-inch/5-centimeter cubes, then slice as thinly as possible. You will need 7 slices per serving.
- For each dish, spread a couple of tablespoons of the sauce on a salad plate. Fan the tuna slices in a circle on the sauce, leaving an opening in the center of the plate. Drizzle tuna with a little olive oil and dust with a few grains of salt. Pile a thatch of hearts of palm slivers in the center of the plate, top with a few sprigs of microgreens and serve.

Steps:
- Thinly slice the tuna steak (sashimi-style). Place the thin layers of tuna on a plate. Remove the rind and pith of 1/2 an orange, then slice and quarter. Remove the rind and pith of 1/2 a grapefruit, then slice and quarter. Lay the orange and grapefruit quarters on top of the tuna.
- Juice the remaining orange half into a small bowl and whisk in the soy sauce and lemon juice. Drizzle the sauce over the tuna and citrus. Sprinkle the tuna with chopped mint and diced jalapenos.
- In a small saute pan, heat the oil over high heat and quickly fry the rice noodles for 1 minute. Sprinkle them over the top and serve.
TUNA SASHIMI WITH JALAPEñO
One of my all-time favorite dishes to order at sushi bars is albacore or yellowtail sashimi with ponzu-a citrus-based soy sauce-and jalapeño (though they sometimes add way too much sesame oil for my taste). The name changes from menu to menu, but no matter the title, I absolutely love it. Here's an at-home version that's a cinch to throw together and super-nutritious. It's perfect for you or to impress your sushi-loving guests. Though you might be tempted to omit the salt, I wouldn't recommend it. This is actually a great dish for exotic sea salt. A light sprinkle can add real depth to the dish.

Steps:
- Arrange the tuna slices on a plate so the slices are touching in the center and point outward (like a starburst pattern). Place a piece of jalapeño in the center of each tuna slice. Drizzle the ponzu evenly over the top. Season with salt. Serve immediately.
