Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Make the Wasabi Crème

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, wasabi paste, and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tuna

    Rub the yellowfin tuna fillet with olive oil and coat it evenly with blackening seasoning.

  3. 3

    Sear the Tuna

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned tuna fillet and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until the exterior is blackened and the center remains medium rare.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the potato rolls in half. Spread a generous amount of wasabi crème on the bottom half, add lettuce, the seared tuna, and top with slices of tomato. Place the other half of the roll on top to complete the sandwich.
