WASABI SESAME CRUSTED SEARED AHI TUNA SALAD
Steps:
- For the fish: Blend the wasabi seeds, cracked black pepper and Hawaiian sea salt in a medium bowl. Place the ahi steaks in the bowl, and carefully roll and flip the steaks to ensure they are completely coated. Remove the steaks to a plate and refrigerate until ready to cook.
- For the vinaigrette: Mix together the honey, vinegar, pepper and mustard in a small bowl, then stream in the oil, whisking constantly.
- For the salad: Slice, dice, chop and mix the spring mix, capers, carrots, tomatoes, cabbage, cucumber, romaine and onion, to your liking, then toss with some vinaigrette and plate four salads. Place one lemon wedge on the side of each plate and quarter the avocados. Slice each quartered avocado 3 to 6 times, creating an avocado fan out of each quarter. Set aside.
- Before heating your grill, you will need to scrape, clean and then oil it. Once clean, preheat to medium-high and close until ripping hot, about 10 minutes. Fold a clean dish towel into a squarish 4-by-6-inch block. Pour 2 cups vegetable oil into a bowl and dip one side of your dish towel block in the oil.
- Open the grill and begin coating grill grates with the oiled towel block. Repeat until grill grates are slick and clean. Pour the sesame oil on a small plate. Place each steak in the sesame oil on both sides, then on the grill.
- Cook for 1 minute on each side. Then pull immediately from grill, slice 1/8- to 1/4-inch-thick with a heavy sharp blade and place directly on your plated salads. Top each salad with an avocado fan. Lastly, pair your dish with a nice Chardonnay or a local IPA. Cheers and enjoy!

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.

Tips:
- For the freshest tuna, look for fish that is bright red and has a mild, briny smell.
- When searing the tuna, be sure to get a good sear on all sides so that the inside remains rare.
- If you don't have a sushi-grade tuna steak, you can use a regular tuna steak and cook it to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- To make the wasabi crust, use a microplane to grate the wasabi root into a fine powder.
- You can adjust the amount of wasabi in the crust to your liking. If you like a lot of heat, use more wasabi. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less.
- The sesame seeds in the crust add a nice nutty flavor and texture.
- Serve the tuna steaks immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, ponzu sauce, or teriyaki sauce.
Conclusion:
Wasabi-crusted tuna steaks are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The tuna is seared to perfection and then coated in a flavorful wasabi crust. The result is a dish that is both delicious and visually appealing. Serve the tuna steaks with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
