Seared Ahi with Cilantro Ginger Drizzle image

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!

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

SAUCE/DRIZZLE:
1/2 c fresh cilantro, minced
2 clove garlic, minced
1 inch piece of ginger, grated or very finely minced
1 serrano chili, finely minced (to taste)
1 Tbsp tamari or soy sauce
1 large lime, juice of
1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil, plus more for coating pan
FOR THE AHI:
2 ahi fillets, sushi grade (6 oz each)
1 firm-ripe avocado, halved and sliced

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.

I followed the recipe exactly and the ahi was overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.
