For the best flavor and texture, ensure your tuna is sushi-grade and ice-cold. Taste and adjust the salt and lime juice to your liking. The tartare should have a balance of savory, sweet, and acidic flavors. If you prefer a milder flavor, remove the seeds from the serrano pepper before mincing. Consider adding a touch of toasted sesame oil for an extra layer of umami. Garnish with a few extra cilantro leaves and a lime wedge for a beautiful presentation.
