Seared Tuna Steak over Mixed Greens

I have done this twice this summer. Certainly, you could slap this right on the BBQ without the bread crumbs, but when Moo is not home to turn the BBQ on, I bread it up and pan sear.

So yummy.

Marinate your fresh tuna steaks (for two pieces):

In a dish, put 1 tbsp. canola oil, a dash of sesame oil, lime zest and juice, Kikkoman soy sauce ( 1 tsp.), grated ginger, a tad of crushed garlic, salt and pepper. Make sure both sides are coated and marinate for 20 minutes. 

When ready to sear, get your frying pan nice and hot with some plain canola oil. Coat your tuna with Panko bread crumbs and sesame seeds and fry for about 4 minutes per side. You need to hear that sizzle when the tuna hits the pan. 

In the mean time, prep your single plates with your salad. 

I layered a bed of arugula, raddichio, fresh alfalfa sprout, and frisée.  I had some tomatoes, celery sticks, avocado, and fresh boconncini on the side. 

For the dressing: Olive oil, a dash of Kikkoman, balsamic, salt, pepper and sesame seeds. 

Lay your tuna on your bed of greens and dig in with a cold glass of vinho verde on the side.

Moolicious!
