Roy Yamaguchi's Blackened Island Ahi Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Cauliflower Puree

   Chop the cauliflower into florets and steam until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Blend with heavy cream, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set aside.

2. 2

   Make the Chimichurri

   In a food processor, combine parsley, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until chunky and well mixed. Set aside.

3. 3

   Prepare the Spicy Soy Mustard

   Mix the soy sauce and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Add chili flakes to taste.

4. 4

   Cook the Brussel Sprouts

   Trim and halve the brussel sprouts. Sauté in olive oil over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Blacken the Ahi Tuna

   Rub the cajun spice blend over the ahi steaks. Heat a skillet over high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Sear the tuna for 1-2 minutes on each side until blackened and cooked to desired doneness.

6. 6

   Plate the Dish

   On each plate, spread a generous layer of cauliflower puree, top with the blackened ahi, drizzle with chimichurri and spicy soy mustard, and serve with crispy brussel sprouts on the side.
