Ingredients for Pretzel Crusted Tuna Sashimi
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Tuna
Slice the fresh yellowfin tuna into sashimi-style pieces, about 1/2 inch thick. Season lightly with black pepper and lemon zest.
- 2
Coat with Pretzel Crumbs
In a shallow dish, combine pretzel crumbs and sesame seeds. Press each piece of tuna into the mixture, coating both sides evenly.
- 3
Sear the Tuna
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated tuna pieces and sear for about 30 seconds on each side, just to warm the crust without cooking the fish through.
- 4
Serve
Remove from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Serve the pretzel crusted tuna sashimi with soy sauce, wasabi paste, and pickled ginger on the side.
