Instructions

To make the ahi spread, combine all the ingredients (ahi, tobikko, green onion, soy sauce, wasabi, kosher salt, and black pepper) 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.
