Seared tuna with caviar is a luxurious and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for a special occasion or a romantic dinner. The key to a perfect seared tuna is to cook it quickly over high heat so that the outside is crispy and the inside is still rare and tender. The caviar adds a briny, salty flavor that complements the richness of the tuna. Serve seared tuna with caviar over a bed of rice or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

Steps:
- Slice off and discard the veiny stub of meat from the tuna, then slice into rough 3cm chunks. Place the sesame seeds onto a tray, then add the tuna chunks, turning them over in the seeds so they're nicely coated.
- Heat a good drizzle of olive and sesame oil in a medium frying pan over a medium heat. Peel and thinly slice the garlic, then add most of it to the pan. Fry for 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden and crisp, then use a slotted spoon to transfer to a plate (don't drain away the oil!).
- Return the pan to the heat and allow to heat up again, then add the sesame-coated tuna to the garlicky oil. Sear on one side for 10 to 20 seconds. Using tongs, turn the tuna over and keep cooking until you've seared only four sides of each chunk. Transfer to a plate.
- Peel and finely grate the ginger, then add to a bowl with the soy, 1 teaspoon sesame oil and the remaining sliced garlic. Add a squeeze of lemon juice, then mix well to combine. Have a taste and add a squeeze more lemon juice, if needed.
- Cut the seared tuna into slices, roughly 1cm thick, then arrange on your plates. Drizzle over the Asian dressing, scatter the garlic chips on top and tear over the coriander leaves. Trim and finely slice the spring onion and chilli at an angle, scatter on top, then finish with a drizzle of olive oil.

Steps:
- Brush egg white on all sides of the tuna with a pastry brush.
- Mix the ground pepper and coriander and press the tuna into this mixture, using as much of it as necessary to cover each side and the ends.
- Heat a heavy saute pan and pour about half of the oil into the pan. Bring to the smoking point and carefully place the tuna in the pan. Sear each side until dark brown and crusty, adding more oil if needed to keep the tuna from sticking. Sear the ends as well. Each side should take about one to one and a half minutes. Remove the tuna and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
- Using a very sharp knife, cut the tuna into one-half- to one-third-inch slices, allowing three slices per serving.
- Arrange the dressed salad greens on each of eight plates at 12 o'clock.
- In a semicircle, overlap three slices of tuna below the greens, with the top edges of tuna resting on the salad. At the base of each piece of tuna, place a dollop of the sauce.

AHI TUNA PARFAIT WITH TWO CAVIARS
Every cook should have a repertoire of showoff dishes as easy to make as this one. It consists of molded layers of silken ahi tuna and two caviars, the pungent wasabi-spiked tobiko, which is flavored flying fish roe, and osetra, the deliciously briny eggs of the like-named sturgeon. I don't advocate using deluxe ingredients just because they're deluxe, but this dish gives them a perfect showcase.

Steps:
- To make the vinaigrette, combine the mustard, vinegar, oil, and tobiko in a small bowl. Season with the salt and pepper and whisk lightly.
- In a small chilled bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Reserve.
- Fill a large bowl with ice. Place a medium bowl in the ice and add the tuna, Tabasco sauce, chopped chives, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix lightly.
- Spray the insides of four 1- to 1 1/2-inch ring molds, or tuna cans with tops and bottoms removed, with nonstick cooking spray. Layer the tuna mixture and caviars in the molds as follows: one-eighth of the tuna, one-fourth of the tobiko, one-eighth of the tuna, one-fourth of the osetra. Press down lightly on the parfaits after each layer with the bottom of a Tabasco bottle (it's the perfect size) or the butt end of a whisk. Top the layers with a thin layer of the cream, smooth to cover, and unmold cream side up onto white serving plates. Or use the Tabasco bottle to push the parfaits from the bottom, then carefully lift them onto a plate. Garnish each portion with 2 chives. Drizzle the vinaigrette around and serve with demitasse spoons.

Steps:
- In a 12-inch skillet, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Season tuna generously with salt and pepper. Arrange half of tuna in skillet in a single layer to prevent crowding. Cook, turning once, until golden brown on top and bottom, about 1 1/2 minutes per side (3 minutes total). Tuna should be slightly pink inside. Transfer to a platter. Cover to keep warm. Add another 1 1/2 tablespoons oil, and repeat with second batch.
- Wipe out the bottom of the skillet. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil and the onion. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until onion is golden brown and soft, 4 to 6 minutes. Add tomatoes and wine, and simmer, stirring often, until the tomatoes' skins just begin to wrinkle, about 2 minutes. Cook at a bare simmer until sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes more. Add basil to skillet, and cook, stirring, until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon hot sauce over tuna just before serving.

Steps:
- Beat the lime juice, marjoram and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil together. Set aside.
- Trim any dark areas from the tuna, then cut it into four equal pieces, trimming them a little if necessary to make four rectangular logs. Press the cracked black pepper over the outside of the pieces of fish.
- Heat all but a teaspoon of the remaining olive oil plus the canola oil in a large, heavy skillet. When the oil is very hot, carefully place the fish in the skillet (to avoid splattering) and sear each piece for barely a minute, then turn and continue to sear the fish pieces briefly on each of the remaining three sides. Remove the fish to a warm plate. The fish should be rare in the middle.
- Wipe out the skillet and add the remaining olive oil. Add the spinach and saute it for a few minutes, until the spinach is barely wilted. Add the beans, season with salt and pepper and continue to saute until the spinach is wilted but is still a bright green and the beans are completely heated through.
- Divide the spinach mixture equally among four dinner plates. Cut the blocks of seared tuna into slices one-half-inch thick and array the slices on top of the spinach. Briefly beat the vinaigrette, then drizzle the vinaigrette around the tuna and the spinach. The plates are now ready to be served.

Steps:
- Rub tuna with olive oil, salt, and plenty of pepper. Set aside to marinate for at least 20 minutes.

- Arrange arugula on plates or platter. Place tuna on top with a slice of caper butter on each steak. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Flavored mayonnaise is easy to make, and it lends added appeal to any sandwich. Here, sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger and green onions give the spread an Asian flair. Mix first 5 ingredients in small bowl to blend. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
- Sprinkle tuna with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tuna and cook to desired doneness, about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare.
- Spread mayonnaise mixture over 1 side of each bread slice. Top 4 bread slices with cucumber, radishes, then avocado, dividing equally. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with tuna steaks. Place remaining bread slices, mayonnaise side down, atop tuna. Cut sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh, sushi-grade tuna steaks. If you can't find sushi-grade tuna, you can also use frozen tuna steaks that have been thawed overnight in the refrigerator.
- Make sure the tuna steaks are well-seasoned with salt and pepper before searing. This will help to bring out the flavor of the fish.
- Sear the tuna steaks over high heat for a short amount of time, just until they are cooked to your desired doneness. Overcooking will make the tuna tough and dry.
- Top the seared tuna steaks with caviar and serve immediately. Caviar is a delicious and luxurious topping that will add a touch of elegance to your dish.
Conclusion:
Seared tuna with caviar is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The tuna is cooked to perfection and the caviar adds a touch of luxury. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
