Ingredients

• 2 pieces Ahi tuna steaks
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce, low sodium
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice, fresh
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 4 cups Mixed greens

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the low sodium soy sauce, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create a marinade.

Step 2

Place the ahi tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes, turning once to ensure even coating.

Step 3

Spread the sesame seeds on a plate. Remove tuna steaks from marinade and press each steak firmly into the sesame seeds, coating both sides evenly.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Season the tuna steaks with freshly ground black pepper.

Step 6

Once the skillet is hot, sear the tuna steaks for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side, depending on your preferred level of doneness. They should be nicely seared on the outside while remaining rare in the center.

Step 7

Remove the tuna steaks from the skillet and let them rest for a minute before slicing.

Step 8

Serve the seared ahi tuna over a bed of mixed greens, garnished with sliced green onions.

Step 9

Enjoy your exquisite, low fat seared ahi tuna with a squeeze of additional lime juice if desired.
