PAN-SEARED TUNA WITH AVOCADO, SOY, GINGER, AND LIME
Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cilantro, jalapeno, ginger, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir the ingredients together until well incorporated.
- Place a skillet over medium-high heat and coat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season the tuna generously with salt and pepper. Lay the tuna in the hot oil 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 and the remaining cilantro sauce drizzled over the whole plate.
SEARED TUNA WITH WASABI-BUTTER SAUCE
I've had the seared tuna in nice restaurants, but this is better than all of them. One tablespoon of wasabi sounds like a lot of heat, but somehow this cooking method mellows it to almost nothing, just leaves the flavor. Really really great.

Steps:
- Combine the white wine vinegar, white wine and shallots in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until the liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons. Strain out shallot and discard, return liquid to the pan.
- Stir the wasabi and soy sauce into the reduction in the pan. Over low heat, gradually whisk in butter one cube at a time allowing the mixture to emulsify. Be careful not to let the mixture boil. When all of the butter has been incorporated, stir in cilantro, and remove from heat. Pour into a small bowl, and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brush tuna steaks with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place in the hot skillet, and sear for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Be careful not to overcook, this fish should be served still a little pink in the center. Serve with sauce.

Steps:
- Whisk together the ginger, lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, salt and pepper in a bowl until the sugar has dissolved. Slowly whisk in olive oil until incorporated. Set aside and refrigerate half of this mixture to be used as a salad dressing later. Whisk the garlic, lime zest, minced chile pepper, and cilantro stems into the marinade. Coat the tuna steaks with the marinade, cover, and let stand for 1 hour at room temperature.
- Preheat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is very hot, remove the tuna from the marinade, and place into the skillet. Sear the tuna until golden brown on both sides, and cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 2 minutes per side for medium, depending on thickness.
- Place the watercress in a large bowl with the cilantro leaves, cherry tomatoes, and sliced chile pepper. Pour in the reserved dressing, and toss to mix. Serve the seared tuna on a bed of salad.

Tips:
- To ensure the tuna is cooked evenly throughout, sear it for 2-3 minutes per side over medium-high heat.
- To achieve a nice sear on the tuna, make sure the pan is hot before adding the fish.
- If you don't have a grill pan, you can sear the tuna in a regular pan with a little bit of oil.
- To make the Cal-Asian slaw, use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage, carrots, and radishes.
- For a more flavorful slaw, dress it with a mixture of mayonnaise, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey.
- To assemble the sandwiches, place the seared tuna on a toasted bun and top with the Cal-Asian slaw and a drizzle of Sriracha mayonnaise.
- For a healthier option, use whole-wheat buns or lettuce wraps instead of white bread.
Conclusion:
These Cal-Asian seared tuna sandwiches are a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. The combination of seared tuna, Cal-Asian slaw, and Sriracha mayonnaise creates a flavor-packed sandwich that is sure to please everyone.
