A quick and flavorful recipe for seared ahi tuna with an Asian-inspired glaze, perfect for a healthy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs sushi-grade ahi tuna steaks
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Green onions, sliced, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and honey to create the glaze.
  2. Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Sear the tuna steaks for 1-2 minutes per side for rare, or longer for more well-done.
  5. Remove tuna from skillet and let rest for a minute.
  6. Slice the tuna steaks against the grain.
  7. Drizzle with the soy-ginger glaze and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.

Notes

  • Ensure your tuna is sushi-grade for the best and safest results.
  • Do not overcook the tuna; it should be rare to medium-rare in the center.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed rice or a simple salad.
  • Consider this a healthy dinner option, similar to what you might find with some meal planning services.
