Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons mirin
2 teaspoons white miso
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1/3 cup carrot juice
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar
1/8 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
1 scallion, green part only, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons unhulled white sesame seeds
1 tablespoon unhulled black sesame seeds
1 pound sushi-grade yellowfin tuna, cut into 4-ounce rectangular pieces
1 tablespoon safflower oil

Steps:

  • Make the dipping sauce: Combine mirin, miso, ginger, carrot juice, orange juice, soy sauce, vinegar, red-pepper flakes, and sesame oil in a small bowl, whisking until miso dissolves. Sprinkle with sliced scallion.
  • Make the tuna: Combine sesame seeds in a shallow dish. Press tuna pieces into seeds, turning to coat each side. Heat oil in a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add tuna, and cook each side until white seeds are golden, about 20 seconds per side. Transfer tuna to a paper-towel-lined plate for 1 minute, then cut each piece into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Serve with dipping sauce.

SESAME-CRUSTED TUNA



Sesame-Crusted Tuna image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup sesame seeds
1 tablespoon black sesame seeds, optional
salt and freshly ground black pepper
salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing the fish
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
2 pounds tuna steaks, cut in 6 equal portions, approximately 1-inch thick
fleur de sel

Steps:

  • In a dry skillet on medium heat, toast the white sesame seeds until they are just beginning to turn light golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and spread seeds on a plate. Add the black sesame seeds to the plate if using, and stir seeds around with fingertips to combine.
  • Brush the tuna pieces on all sides with olive oil. Season on all sides with salt and pepper, and dip tuna pieces in the seeds, pressing to coat on all sides. Set aside on a wax foil lined cookie sheet.
  • When ready to cook, heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil on medium high in the skillet. When oil is hot, add the butter, when the butter foams, add the fish to the skillet. Let cook without moving the fish for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, until the sesame crust begins to crisp and brown. When the crust is golden brown, turn the fish and cook until the other side is golden brown and crisp, about another 2 minutes, adding additional butter if needed to keep the fish from sticking and speed up the browning. Once the second side is browned, turn the fish pieces on edge with tongs, to brown the remaining sides.
  • Remove from heat and set aside. Fish will be medium rare at this point. If you prefer fish more well done, place the ban with the fish in a 375 degree F oven for another 3 to 5 minutes.
  • To serve, slice each portion in half and place on the pasta bed with the edges overlapping. Sprinkle with finishing salt, if desired.

SESAME-CRUSTED FISH WITH BUTTER AND GINGER SAUCE



Sesame-Crusted Fish With Butter and Ginger Sauce image

This recipe came out of a 2005 kitchen cage match between Mark Bittman and the chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, in which Bittman, the home cook, sought to cook Chef Vongerichten's food more simply and perhaps just as deliciously. Judging by the quality of this particular dish, he succeeded.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, seafood, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup sesame seeds
4 skinless fillets like black sea bass or red snapper, 6 ounces each
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons neutral oil, like corn or canola
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon peeled and minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Heat large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Put seeds on plate. Season fillets with salt and pepper and turn in seeds, patting to coat fillets as fully as possible with seeds. Add oil to skillet and when it shimmers add fillets.
  • Brown fish on 1 side for a couple of minutes, then brown on other side for a minute or two. Remove skillet from heat, transfer fish to plate (even if not done) and place plate in oven.
  • When skillet has cooled slightly, put over medium heat. Add butter, and when it melts add ginger. About 30 seconds later, add soy sauce and 1/4 cup water and stir to blend. Return fillets to skillet, along with accumulated juices.
  • Turn heat to medium and cook fillets for about 1 to 3 minutes until desired doneness, turning 3 or 4 times. (If the pan dries out, add 2 or 3 tablespoons water.) Fish should be done when a thin-bladed knife meets little resistance at fillet's thickest point. Serve pan juices over fish.

1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup lemon juice

Tips:

  • Choose the right tuna steaks: Look for sushi-grade tuna steaks that are about 1 inch thick and have a firm texture.
  • Make sure the sesame seeds stick: Pat the tuna steaks dry before coating them in the sesame seeds. This will help the seeds adhere better.
  • Don't overcook the tuna: Tuna steaks should be cooked quickly over high heat to maintain their tenderness. Cook them for about 2 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Make the carrot-ginger sauce ahead of time: This sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. It will thicken as it sits, so you may need to thin it out with a little water or vegetable broth before serving.
  • Serve the tuna with your favorite sides: This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Sesame-crusted tuna with carrot-ginger sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The tuna is cooked quickly and easily, and the carrot-ginger sauce is flavorful and refreshing. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
