1
Prepare the Tuna
Pat the Ahi tuna fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2
Sear the Tuna
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tuna fillets. Sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until the outside is browned but the inside remains rare. Remove from heat and let rest for a minute.
3
Prepare the Dipping Sauce
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce and wasabi paste until well combined.
4
Plate the Dish
On a plate, create a bed of seaweed salad. Slice the seared tuna into thin strips and place on top of the salad. Drizzle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
5
Serve
Serve immediately with the soy-wasabi dipping sauce on the side.
