Wasabi Seared Tuna Salad image

I love a nice big dinner salad, and this one is great when you feel like something reminiscent of sushi.

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces fresh sushi grade tuna steaks
1 tablespoon wasabi powder
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 tablespoon soy sauce, divided
1 avocado, sliced
1/2 cup shredded daikon radish
2 cups salad greens
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
pickled ginger, for garnish

Steps:

  • Mix wasabi powder with just enough soy sauce to make a thick paste.
  • Rub wasabi paste onto both sides of tuna steaks.
  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in a nonstick skillet over med-high heat.
  • Sear tuna for about 30-45 seconds on each side, just enough to get a crust.
  • Slice tuna thin, and set aside.
  • Arrange salad greens on a plate, and top with tuna, avocado, ginger, and daikon.
  • Mix remaining soy sauce, oil, rice vinegar, and a little of the juice from the ginger if you have some, drizzle onto salads, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • This goes great with Miso soup and a little sticky rice.
