Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6 oz each) Ahi tuna steaks
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 6 cups Mixed salad greens
- 1 medium (sliced into thin rounds) Cucumber
- 1 large (sliced) Avocado
- 3 small (thinly sliced) Radishes
- 1 medium (shredded) Carrot
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
Instructions
Season the ahi tuna steaks on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Coat both sides of the tuna steaks evenly with sesame seeds, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat a skillet over high heat and lightly oil the surface. Sear the tuna steaks for about 1-2 minutes on each side for a rare center. For more doneness, cook an additional 1 minute per side. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, wasabi paste, sesame oil, olive oil, honey, and lime juice to make the wasabi vinaigrette. Adjust seasoning to taste.
In a large bowl, combine mixed salad greens, cucumber slices, avocado slices, radishes, and shredded carrot.
Slice the seared ahi tuna into thin slices.
Divide the salad mixture between two plates. Top each plate with sliced tuna.
Drizzle the wasabi vinaigrette generously over the salad and serve immediately.
