SESAME TUNA MARINADE
Steps:
- 1. Cut Tuna into serving size portions remove skin, rinse in cold water and pat dry.
- 2. In a gallon size zip lock type bag combine marinade ingredients and mix well. Add Tuna and squeeze out excess air. Zip it closed and message to coat evenly. Place in refrigerator overnight or at least a few hours before cooking.
- 3. Bring to room temperature before cooking. Grill, broil or pan-fry Tuna over medium high heat until done. Don't over cook! Tuna can be served rare or medium and will be done in less than 10 minutes on a hot grill. Any longer and the meat will dry out and lose flavor. It's not necessary to grill or broil both sides, the marinade will brown quickly because of the sugar. In fact, a light charring makes it taste even better.
- 4. Just before serving, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Add rice pilaf, steamed asparagus and crisp salad greens with vinaigrette dressing for a perfect gourmet meal.
- 5. Note, this is a wonderful recipe that works equally well with Salmon, Swordfish, Halibut, or any firm flavorful fish.

GRILLED TUNA STEAKS WITH ASIAN SESAME CRUST
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a large zip-top bag, combine the soy sauce, chopped scallions, lemon juice, sesame oil, and fresh ginger. Swish everything around in the bag until it's well combined.
- Add the tuna steaks, turning to coat them completely with the marinade. Press the excess air out of the bag, seal, and marinate in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes. Preheat the grill to high heat; this can be a countertop contact grill, an open grill pan, or an outdoor gas or charcoal grill. If using a contact grill, set to "sear" or the highest temperature setting.
- Place the sesame seeds on a plate or a shallow dish. Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, brushing the scallions off the steaks; reserve the marinade. One at a time, coat the steaks in sesame seeds on all sides, pressing the seeds onto the steaks so they'll stick.
- Spray the grill plates lightly with nonstick spray and place the steaks on the grill. If using a contact grill, close the cover so the top grill rests evenly on the steaks; do not press down. Grill for about 3 minutes for a rare, pink interior; grill longer if you prefer your tuna cooked through.
- If you are using an open grilling surface, carefully flip the tuna steaks with a pair of tongs after 3 minutes and cook for 3 minutes on the other side. Remove the steaks from the grill and keep warm.
- While the tuna cooks, pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Mix the cornstarch with the water to create a slurry and add to the saucepan, stirring with a whisk. Simmer for about 3 to 4 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
- To serve, slice the tuna steaks on the diagonal into thin pieces. Fan the slices on a plate and drizzle with the sauce.

SESAME TUNA WITH SOY MISO DRESSING
This recipe is served at a seafood restaurant in Royal Oak, Michigan. The sesame covered tuna is done medium rare inside (almost like sushi) and has a fantastic soy miso dressing drizzled over the top. One of the best seafood dishes I love!

Steps:
- In a shallow bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of sesame seeds, seasoning salt, white pepper, onion powder, wasabi powder, kosher salt and flour; set aside. In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs and milk.
- Dip tuna steaks in the egg mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture until well coated on both sides. Press on as many extra sesame seeds as possible, so it is well coated. Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Fry tuna steaks for 2 minutes per side, and immediately remove from heat. The inside of the fish should still be red.
- To make the soy miso dressing, mix together the miso soup mix and soy sauce. Heat in a small saucepan or microwave, and drizzle over steaks.
