Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Aioli

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and set aside.

2

Season the Tuna

Generously coat the ahi tuna steaks with Cajun seasoning on both sides.

3

Sear the Tuna

Heat a skillet over high heat. Add a little oil and sear the tuna steaks for about 1-2 minutes on each side for rare, adjusting time to desired doneness.

4

Prepare the Sandwich

While the tuna is cooking, slice the avocado and tomato. Once the tuna is done, assemble the sandwich by spreading the lemon garlic aioli on each bun, adding the seared tuna, avocado slices, and tomato slices.

5

Serve

Close the sandwich with the top bun, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately.
