Ingredients

• 4 ounces fresh tuna steak
• 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 clove fresh garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1 spray olive oil spray
• 1 stalk green onion, finely sliced
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sriracha sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the marinade.

Step 2

Place the tuna steak in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the tuna, ensuring it's evenly coated. Allow the tuna to marinate for 10-15 minutes in the refrigerator.

Step 3

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly spray with olive oil spray.

Step 4

Remove the tuna from the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off, and place it in the hot skillet. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 5

Sear the tuna for 2-3 minutes on each side for a medium-rare result. Adjust the cooking time according to your desired level of doneness, being careful not to overcook to maintain the low-fat tenderness.

Step 6

Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for 2 minutes before slicing.

Step 7

Garnish with sliced green onion and sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy your sweet and spicy low-fat tuna with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal!
