Preparation
For the Seafood
- Trim the tuna, cut it in large, even brunoise, and place it in a small bowl.
- Remove the muscles, if any, from the scallops and dice the flesh in large brunoise as well. Place in a separate bowl with the tobiko.
- Mix the herbs and combine one-third with the scallops and the remaining two-thirds with the tuna. Refrigerate both mixtures.
For the Dressing
- Whisk together the citrus juices, fish and soy sauces, oil, curry, ginger, jalapeño, and onion.
- Divide the dressing in half and place in 2 separate bowls. Add the coconut milk and brunoise of bell pepper to one of them. Taste and adjust the seasoning in both.
For the Salad Garnish and Service
- Combine the jicama and carrot with half of the plain dressing and let marinate until service time.
- Per order: Combine 60 grams of the tuna with the coconut dressing and mix well. Mold it and place it to one side on a chilled plate.
- Combine 30 grams of the scallops with some of the plain dressing and place on top of the molded tuna.
- Drain the julienne, and moisten a few mâche leaves with a touch of the strained dressing.
- Arrange a spray of the mâche on the opposite side of the plate from the seviche. Mix a few chives with a pinch of the julienne and place on top of the mâche. Drizzle a little extra dressing on the plate and decorate the seviche with a cilantro sprig.
