Number Of Ingredients 11

1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
2 jalapenos, sliced
4 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
4 garlic cloves, grated
4 limes, juiced
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/8 teaspoon sugar
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 (6 ounce) fillets sushi-quality tuna
2 avocados, halved, pitted, peeled and sliced

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the cilantro, jalapeno, ginger, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup of olive oil. Stir the ingredients together until well incorporated.
  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and coat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season the tuna pieces generously with salt and pepper.

Transfer the seared tuna to plates and serve with the sliced avocado and the remaining cilantro sauce drizzled over the whole plate.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of tuna: Opt for sushi-grade tuna or tuna steaks that are at least 1 inch thick.
  • Sear the tuna properly: Heat your pan or grill over high heat and sear the tuna for 1-2 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
  • Don't overcook the tuna: Tuna is a delicate fish, so it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become dry and tough.
  • Make sure your avocado is ripe: A ripe avocado will be dark green in color and slightly soft to the touch.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste.

Conclusion:

Pan-seared tuna with avocado, soy-ginger, and lime is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. The tuna is cooked perfectly and the avocado, soy-ginger, and lime sauce adds a delicious flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
