SESAME SEARED TUNA AND SUSHI BAR SPINACH SALAD
This recipe is dedicated to the other side of the sushi bar menu, where after you work your way through the nigiri and sushi rolls, you discover things like tuna tataki and cold, Japanese-style spinach salad. While I can't promise authenticity, I can promise this is fast and simple to make--and I think, extremely delicious.

Steps:
- Place spinach in a dry pot set over medium-high heat and cook, stirring, until it just begins to wilt, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer into a strainer to cool.
- While spinach cools, toast white sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat until light golden brown. Transfer into a mortar and pestle and crush into a very coarse paste, leaving some seeds whole. Add white sugar, soy sauce, and mirin. Stir with a wooden spoon to combine and reserve.
- Transfer cooled spinach to a towel and squeeze out any excess liquid. Chop roughly and add to a mixing bowl. Add the dressing and mix well. Cover and chill thoroughly before serving.
- Mix mayonnaise, miso paste, and rice vinegar together for miso mayo sauce. Place in the refrigerator until needed.
- Lightly salt tuna steaks, and then coat all sides well with as many sesame seeds as you like, pressing them lightly as you do.
- Brush a nonstick pan with oil and place over medium heat. Sear tuna steaks in the hot pan for 30 to 45 seconds on each side, as well as each edges.
- Slice and place tuna over the miso sauce. Brush tuna with ponzu and serve with spinach salad on the side.

Tips:
- To ensure the freshest ahi tuna, look for fish that is deep red in color and has a firm texture.
- When searing the ahi tuna, make sure the pan is very hot before adding the fish. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside rare.
- If you don't have a sushi-grade ahi tuna, you can still make this recipe. Just be sure to cook the fish all the way through to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- For a more flavorful salad, use a variety of greens and vegetables. Some good options include arugula, spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, and avocados.
- To make the dressing, whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey. For a spicier dressing, add a touch of Sriracha or chili sauce.
Conclusion:
This seared ahi tuna sushi salad is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. The ahi tuna is seared to perfection and served over a bed of fresh greens and vegetables. The dressing is light and flavorful, and adds a perfect finishing touch to the dish.
