SEARED AHI MARINADE

Seared Ahi Marinade image

I wanted a recipe that was similar to the ones I have had a restaurant in the past. I searched the site and found some good sauces for seared ahi- but just not what I was looking for. I found one a lot like I was looking for at Simple Recipes- I tweeked it a bit and I'm posting it here for safe keeping because it was so yummy!! Mind you- it was fresh, wild caught ahi- which can make a difference. I'll let you know how it goes with frozen fish, should I break down and try it (but with two avid ocean fisherman in the neighborhood hood, it will be a desperate move!)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 (6 -8 ounce) ahi tuna steaks (3/4 of an inch thick)
2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
1 green onion, thinly sliced (a few slices reserved for garnish)
1/2-1 teaspoon lime juice (optional)
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
fresh cracked pepper

Steps:

Mix the sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, green onion and lime juice in a non metal bowl. Add ahi and coat , cover tightly, and refrigerate for about an hour.
Toast the sesame seeds in a pan until light brown (I prefer a blend of white and black sesame seeds- the black ones are hard to find, try an asian market). Remove seeds and allow to cool on a flat plate (you will use this plate to dredge the tuna in)- add cracked pepper.
Add olive oil to a skillet and allow it to get HOT.
Dredge the ahi in the sesame seeds and pepper to coat and add to the hot pan.
Cook only two or three minutes on each side so that the ahi is seared on the outside and rare on the inside.
Serve with white rice and green beans that have been either roasted or cooked and drizzled with sesame oil. Sprinkle any extra sesame seeds over the top.
garnish with remaining green onion and ENJOY!

Asian inspired marinade. I have served it with Asian Cabbage Slaw (#64032) both as a main dish and an appetizer. Make a partial recipe of the slaw recipe and use as garnish with sliced tuna drizzled with soy sauce.

SEARED AHI TUNA WITH BLACKBERRY-PASSION FRUIT MARINADE

Seared Ahi Tuna with Blackberry-Passion Fruit Marinade image

This is a great summer dish. The marinade is great for grilling tuna, too. I usually serve this with a spinach salad with my passion fruit-dijon vinaigrette or my fennel salad. You can serve it with steamed white rice or over lettuce, thinly sliced cabbage, or fennel. Pair it with a passion fruit lemonade, a fruity cocktail, or a glass of light and fruity wine.
