Instructions

Make the chermoula: Combine fresh cilantro, fresh parsley, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, paprika, ground cumin, olive oil, and honey in a food processor. Pulse until a chunky paste forms. Do not overblend.
Combine tuna and chermoula: In a bowl, gently fold the chermoula into sushi-grade tuna. Be careful not to break up the tuna. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper.
Prepare cucumber noodles: Using a spiralizer or mandoline, create noodles from English cucumber. Toss with rice vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
Plate: Divide cucumber noodles among four plates. Top with a spoonful of chermoula tuna tartare.
Garnish and serve: Garnish with fresh mint and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately and eat cold.
