Simple Seared Tuna

Seared tuna is soooo much easier than you thought! It literally takes about 4 min. This has been my biggest post-run craving lately- plenty of Omega-3's, healthy fats, antioxidants and a swift kick to the metabolism and sinuses thanks to the wasabi!

Ingredients:

1 big handful fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped

1/2 jalapeno, sliced

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

1 garlic clove, grated

2 limes, juiced

2 tablespoons soy sauce

Pinch sugar

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 Tbsp olive oil

Olive oil spray

1 (6-ounce) block sushi-quality tuna

1 ripe avocado, halved, peeled, pitted, and sliced

¼ cup sesame seeds

Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, combine the cilantro, jalapeno, ginger, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Place the tuna steak in the mixing bowl and allow to marinate. (I prepped this Sunday night and allowed the tuna to marinate until I was ready to have it for dinner).

Place a skillet over medium-high heat and spray with olive oil. Coat the tuna with sesame seeds. Lay the tuna in the hot pan and sear for 1 minute on each side to form a slight crust. Pour 1/2 of the cilantro mixture into the pan to coat the fish. Serve the seared tuna with the sliced avocado, ginger and wasabi.
