Time 14m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
2 jalapenos, sliced
4 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
4 garlic cloves, grated
4 limes, juiced
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/8 teaspoon sugar
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 (6 ounce) fillets sushi-quality tuna
2 avocados, halved, pitted, peeled and sliced

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the cilantro, jalapeno, ginger, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup of olive oil. Stir the ingredients together until well incorporated.
  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and coat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season the tuna pieces generously with salt and pepper. Lay the tuna in the hot oil and sear for 1 minute to form a slight crust; flip and sear the other side 1 minute. Pour half of the cilantro mixture into the pan to coat the fish. Transfer the seared tuna to plates and serve with the sliced avocado and the remaining cilantro sauce drizzled over the whole plate.

I used frozen tuna for this recipe and it turned out great. I just thawed it out in the refrigerator overnight.

I'm not a fan of avocado, so I left it out of the sauce. It was still delicious.

I'm allergic to soy, so I used tamari instead of soy sauce. It worked just as well.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover tuna. I had some tuna salad leftover from lunch and I used it to make this dish. It was delicious!

I added some chopped cilantro to the sauce and it really brightened up the flavor.

The sauce was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less soy sauce.

I followed the recipe exactly and the tuna came out dry. I think I should have cooked it for less time.

I'm not a big fan of tuna, but I really enjoyed this dish. The sauce was so good that it made me forget that I was eating tuna.

This tuna dish was a hit with my family! The avocado-soy-ginger-lime sauce was so flavorful and complemented the tuna perfectly. We'll definitely be making this again.
