Method

Prepare the Tuna

  1. 1

    Season the Tuna

    Pat the albacore tuna steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Tuna

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tuna steaks and sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until cooked to your preference. Remove from heat and allow to rest.

Make the Wasabi Mayo

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and wasabi paste until well combined. Adjust the amount of wasabi to taste for desired spiciness.

Assemble the Tacos

  1. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 5

    Slice the Tuna

    After the tuna has rested, slice it thinly against the grain.

  3. 6

    Build the Tacos

    Start with a warm tortilla, add a layer of shredded cabbage, then top with sliced tuna, a dollop of wasabi mayo, salsa fresca, wakame, and finish with pickled ginger.
