INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Ahi Tuna Steak
1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
1 teaspoon Fresh Grated Ginger
1 tablespoon Lime Juice
1/4 Avocado
PREPARATION
Pat the ahi tuna steak dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Place the sesame seeds on a small plate. Press the tuna steak gently onto the seeds to coat one side generously.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, carefully place the tuna in the pan, sesame-seed side down.
Sear the tuna for about 1.5-2 minutes on the sesame-seed coated side to form a crunchy crust, then flip the tuna and cook the other side for an additional 1.5-2 minutes. The center should remain rare to medium-rare.
While the tuna is cooking, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, grated ginger, and lime juice in a small bowl to create the ginger-lime sauce.
Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Slice the tuna against the grain, then drizzle the ginger-lime sauce over the slices.
Garnish with thin slices of avocado on the side for a creamier texture and additional flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy this bright and nutritious dish.
