Yield 2 people

Number Of Ingredients 21

8 ounce wild caught fresh Ahi tuna steak (I used Hawaiian Bigeye, ask your fishmonger for tuna that is suitable to eat raw)
1 Tablespoon black sesame seeds
1 Tablespoon sesame seeds
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon canola oil
Salad:
4 cups organic mixed greens (I used a blend of spring greens and baby spinach)
2-3 Tablespoons shelled edamame (optional)
3 Tablespoons diced red bell pepper (optional)
fresh lime (optional)
Dressing/Dipping Sauce (makes 1/2 cup):
1/4 cup plus 1 Tablespoon O Ginger Rice Vinegar (O Yuzu Rice Vinegar would work well, too)
1/4 cup toasted sesame oil
1 1/2 Tablespoons tahini paste (I used Artisana Organic Tahini that I found at Whole Foods, but any tahini paste will work)
1 Tablespoon honey
1 large clove garlic, finely minced
1 teaspoon finely minced fresh ginger (less than a one inch knob)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Sesame Ginger Dressing
Whisk all the dressing/dipping sauce ingredients together until emulsified and well blended.

Steps:

  • Using your hands, coat both sides of the tuna with the sesame seed mixture. Pat and press to be sure it's well coated. Heat non-stick skillet to high and add canola oil to coat bottom of pan. Skillet should be extremely hot, then place sesame-coated tuna in pan and allow to sear for 45 seconds then flip and sear another 45 seconds. Pulling it all together: Mix ingredients for salad (mixed greens, edamame, bell pepper) together and toss with a small amount of dressing. Arrange on plates and top with the sliced tuna. Serve with extra dressing on the side to dip your tuna in.

I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The spicy seared tuna is perfectly balanced by the sweet and tangy sesame-ginger dressing. The salad is also very refreshing and light, making it a perfect meal for a hot summer day.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. The tuna was cooked well, but the dressing was lacking in flavor. I would probably add more spices next time.
