Cooking Directions

Make the poke: Whisk green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, macadamia nuts, seaweed, ginger, pepper flakes, and salt together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add tuna and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Remove poke from refrigerator and stir. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds, then drizzle lemon juice over top.

Cooking Tips:

Don’t add vinegar or citrus juice to the marinade. You won’t get the same texture that we’re looking for here.

You can use lime juice or seasoned rice vinegar instead of lemon juice for finishing.

Editor’s Note:

Consuming raw seafood may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially if you have certain medical conditions.
