Presentation-

Using a ring 2 inchs in diameter, fill with the tartar. If you don't have a ring use a 3-4 oz. ramekin and carefully invert onto a beautiful plate. Repeat 4-6 times. Reserve the rest (if any) for the next day and make tuna patties. Drizzle the miso mayonaisse evenly around the tuna tartar and garnish with caviar and micro cilantro greens.
