Tartare:
1.5 lbs. fresh tuna, finely diced
1.5 lbs. fresh salmon, finely diced
2 avocados, finely diced
½ teaspoon + ½ teaspoon + ½ teaspoon salt, divided
½ lemon
3 tablespoons + 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Basil oil:

Prepare the tartare: Set 3 bowls on your work surface. Add the tuna to the first bowl, the salmon to the second, and the avocados to the third.
Add ½ teaspoon salt, a squeeze of lemon juice, and 3 tablespoons olive oil to the tuna. Mix. Do the same with the salmon.
Add the remaining ½ teaspoon salt and a squeeze of lemon juice to the avocado, and mix.
Prepare the basil oil: Preheat oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the basil on the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
Transfer to a blender, add the oil, and blend until the basil is chopped very finely and the oil turns green. Strain the oil through the cloth to remove bits of basil.
To serve, use round molds to plate each part, and remove the molds from the plate once it’s done.
