What a find: fresh, wild albacore tuna at Costco for only $6.99 a pound! Ahi tuna would work just as well but I like the milder taste of the albacore. So yeah, you have to make this... because it's AMAZING :-)
Ingredients
- 3 very fresh albacore tuna fillets shopping list
- 4 tablespoons sesame seeds shopping list
- kosher salt & fresh ground black pepper shopping list
- canola oil for searing shopping list
- Citrus-ginger Sauce : shopping list
- 2 tablespoons honey (or more to taste) shopping list
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce shopping list
- a few drops of sesame oil shopping list
- juice of one orange shopping list
- juice of half a lemon shopping list
- juice of 1 lime shopping list
- 2 tablespoons saké (or mirin) shopping list
- 2 thin slices of ginger shopping list
- Salad Garnish: shopping list
- shaved cucumber, sliced avocado, frisee lettuce, thinly sliced green onions shopping list
How to make it
- Combine all ingredients for the sauce; set aside (the sliced ginger will infuse the sauce).
- On a shallow plate, pour the sesame seeds. Season the tuna with cracked black pepper and salt. Coat the tuna in the sesame seeds, pressing lightly so they stick to the tuna.
- Place a saute pan over high heat. Add the oil and sear the tuna on both sides, about 1 minute per side.
- In a bowl combine the cucumber, green onions and frisee. Toss with some of the citrus-ginger sauce.
- Slice the chilled tuna across the grain, faning it out into 3-4 pieces per plate. Place some of the dressed greens on 4 plates. Top with sliced tuna, garnish with avocado and drizzle with some more of the citrus-ginger sauce.

I make the sesame seared tuna quite often, but I've never had a good sauce to go with it. This sounds perfect, and delicious!

I keep forgetting to come back here and rate this. I make sesame seared tuna a lot, and have been in search of a sauce that can really stand out. This one is IT!! Great combination of flavor. I've made it twice, now. Second time I added more than jus...more
