1
Slice the Ahi Tuna
Using a sharp knife, cut the sushi-grade Ahi Tuna into thin, even slices (about 1/2 inch thick).
2
Season the Tuna
Sprinkle sea salt and black pepper evenly over the sliced tuna, ensuring each piece is well-seasoned.
3
Heat Sesame Oil
In a skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
4
Sear the Tuna
Quickly sear the tuna slices in the hot skillet for about 30 seconds on each side, maintaining a rare center. Remove from skillet and let rest.

5
Combine Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, wasabi paste, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt. Mix well until smooth.
6
Taste and Adjust
Taste the wasabi aioli and adjust seasoning with more salt or wasabi paste if desired.

7
Plate the Tuna
Arrange the sliced, seared Ahi Tuna on a serving platter.
8
Add Wasabi Aioli
Drizzle or serve the wasabi aioli alongside the Ahi Tuna for dipping.
9
Garnish (Optional)
Garnish with thinly sliced green onions or sesame seeds for an added touch.
