Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Ahi tuna steaks
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce, low sodium
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice, fresh
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 4 cups Mixed greens
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the low sodium soy sauce, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create a marinade.
Place the ahi tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes, turning once to ensure even coating.
Spread the sesame seeds on a plate. Remove tuna steaks from marinade and press each steak firmly into the sesame seeds, coating both sides evenly.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the tuna steaks with freshly ground black pepper.
Once the skillet is hot, sear the tuna steaks for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side, depending on your preferred level of doneness. They should be nicely seared on the outside while remaining rare in the center.
Remove the tuna steaks from the skillet and let them rest for a minute before slicing.
Serve the seared ahi tuna over a bed of mixed greens, garnished with sliced green onions.
Enjoy your exquisite, low fat seared ahi tuna with a squeeze of additional lime juice if desired.
