Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
1 ½ teaspoons wasabi paste
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
4 (6 ounce) yellowfin tuna fillets
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Mix together the mayonnaise, wasabi paste, five-spice powder, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce in a small bowl.
  • Lay the tuna fillets into a glass baking dish. Pour the rice vinegar and 1 tablespoon soy sauce over the tuna. Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over both sides of each piece of fish. Cover the dish and refrigerate 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Prepare a skillet with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the sesame seeds evenly over both sides of the fillets. Lay the tuna gently into the skillet. Grill to desired level of doneness, about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the freshest tuna, look for fish that is bright red in color and has a firm texture. Tuna steaks should be at least 1 inch thick for best results.
  • When searing tuna, be sure to sear it quickly over high heat to create a nice crust while keeping the inside rare. Searing the tuna for too long will overcook it and make it tough.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can also sear the tuna in a hot skillet over high heat. Just be sure to use a heavy-bottomed skillet so that the heat is distributed evenly.
  • The wasabi mayonnaise sauce is a great complement to the tuna. It is spicy, creamy, and tangy all at the same time. If you don't like wasabi, you can substitute another type of sauce, such as soy sauce or teriyaki sauce.
  • This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The tuna will continue to cook as it sits, so if you let it sit for too long, it will become overcooked.

Conclusion:

Wasabi yellowfin tuna is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The tuna is seared to perfection and then topped with a spicy and creamy wasabi mayonnaise sauce. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
