This Tuna Carpaccio features delicate slices of yellowtail tuna, enhanced by zesty lemon juice and the crunch of sliced shallots and red peppers. The dish is elevated with a drizzle of chili oil for a subtle kick. And sweet apricot slices add a delightful contrast. It's then finished with a touch of olive oil, cilantro, and dill. This carpaccio is a fresh and vibrant appetizer.
