Ingredients

• 2 pieces (6 oz each) Ahi tuna steaks
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 6 cups Mixed salad greens
• 1 medium (sliced into thin rounds) Cucumber
• 1 large (sliced) Avocado
• 3 small (thinly sliced) Radishes
• 1 medium (shredded) Carrot
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice

Directions

Step 1

Season the ahi tuna steaks on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Coat both sides of the tuna steaks evenly with sesame seeds, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 3

Heat a skillet over high heat and lightly oil the surface. Sear the tuna steaks for about 1-2 minutes on each side for a rare center. For more doneness, cook an additional 1 minute per side. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, wasabi paste, sesame oil, olive oil, honey, and lime juice to make the wasabi vinaigrette. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 5

In a large bowl, combine mixed salad greens, cucumber slices, avocado slices, radishes, and shredded carrot.

Step 6

Slice the seared ahi tuna into thin slices.

Step 7

Divide the salad mixture between two plates. Top each plate with sliced tuna.

Step 8

Drizzle the wasabi vinaigrette generously over the salad and serve immediately.
