- Cut the fresh tuna into small cubes (or slightly finer, as you prefer). Season with a pinch of salt and a little lemon zest. Set aside.
- Once the sauce has cooled, add a squeeze of lemon juice. Strain through a fine sieve.

- Spoon the strained sauce around the plate. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and sprinkle with black pepper. Serve immediately.
