Ingredients

• 400 grams Fresh Ahi tuna steak
• 60 ml Gluten-free soy sauce (tamari)
• 30 ml Rice vinegar
• 15 ml Sesame oil
• 15 ml Lime juice
• 10 ml Honey
• 5 grams Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 piece Garlic clove, minced
• 15 grams Black sesame seeds
• 15 grams White sesame seeds
• 15 ml Olive oil
• 100 grams Mixed salad greens
• 1 piece Avocado, sliced
• 50 grams Cucumber, thinly sliced
• 2 pieces Radish, thinly sliced
• 30 ml Gluten-free sesame dressing (store-bought or homemade)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the tuna steak dry with paper towels and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, lime juice, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the tuna steak in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over it, ensuring the fish is evenly coated. Reserve the remaining marinade for serving. Let the tuna marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 4

In a small, dry skillet over medium heat, lightly toast the black and white sesame seeds until aromatic, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside to cool.

Step 5

Remove the tuna from the marinade and press it into the toasted sesame seeds, coating all sides evenly.

Step 6

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over high heat. Sear the tuna for 20-30 seconds on each side, just until the outer edges are cooked while keeping the center raw and rare. Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes.

Step 7

Using a sharp knife, slice the tuna thinly into bite-sized pieces.

Step 8

Assemble the salad by arranging the mixed greens, avocado slices, cucumber slices, and radish slices on a serving platter. Drizzle with gluten-free sesame dressing.

Step 9

Serve the sliced tuna tataki over the salad and drizzle with the reserved marinade as desired.
