"Crunchy" Ahi Toast


This is a great appetizer because of it's big two-level crunch.  First, the happy pop of the tobikko, and then the satisfying crunch of the crostini.

Total Time:  30 minutes
Makes:  10 servings

Ingredients

Ahi Spread:
  • 2 lbs. ahi, ¼" or less diced
  • ½ cup tobikko fish eggs
  • ½ cup thinly sliced green onion
  • 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon wasabi paste or wasabi oil
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper to taste
Crostini:
  • 1 baguette, sliced into rounds ¼" thick
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Garlic salt

Directions

To make the ahi spread, combine all the ingredients in a bowl, fold together, and keep well chilled until ready to serve.

To make the crostini (you can also purchase prepared crostini), brush each slice of bread with a little olive oil and bake at 400° F for 10 minutes or until crispy.  Remove from the oven and sprinkle with garlic salt or a herbed salt blend. 

Top each crostini with a rounded teaspoon of the ahi spread and serve.
