SEARED AHI WITH CILANTRO GINGER DRIZZLE
Oh so easy, and a beautiful presentation when using sushi-grade ahi. The sauce is versatile, and you can fine tune to your liking. Sometimes I add sesame oil, sometimes I use lemongrass paste (from the produce aisle) instead of ginger. And if I want it extra spicy, I use red Thai chilies. Make it your own!

Steps:
- 1. In a small bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients and set aside.
- 2. Season the ahi with salt and pepper. Put about 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Oil should coat the surface. Heat till shimmering, then add the ahi. Let sear for about one minute per side - just enough to form a nice crust. Add about half the sauce to the pan and shake to distribute. Remove from heat.
- 3. Place the ahi on a cutting board and let sit for about 3 minutes to firm up. Meanwhile, peel and slice the avocado. Then slice the ahi on the diagonal.
- 4. To serve, arrange the ahi slices nicely on the plate, top with some avocado slices, and drizzle each portion with the remaining sauce. Serve immediately or the avocado will brown.
