Seared Tuna Recipe

Prepare the Tuna

Season the tuna filets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Make the Cilantro-Lime Aioli

In a blender, combine mayonnaise, fresh cilantro, lime juice, garlic, and salt. Blend until smooth and well combined.

Prepare the Pepper Salad

Dice the red, yellow, and green bell peppers and red onion. In a bowl, mix them with olive oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper.

Crush the Wasabi Peas

Lightly crush the wasabi peas into a crumble using a rolling pin or food processor.

Sear the Tuna

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the tuna filets for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned on the outside but rare in the center.

Plate the Dish

On a plate, place a portion of the pepper salad, top with the seared tuna, drizzle with cilantro-lime aioli, and sprinkle with wasabi pea crumble.
