Seared Sesame Crusted Yellowfin Tuna Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Tuna

   Pat the yellowfin tuna fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Coat with Sesame Seeds

   Spread the sesame seeds on a plate and press the tuna fillets into the seeds, coating both sides evenly.

3. 3

   Heat the Oil

   In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

4. 4

   Sear the Tuna

   Add the sesame-crusted tuna to the skillet and sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if desired.

5. 5

   Prepare Caramel Soy Sauce

   In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly.

6. 6

   Serve

   Slice the tuna into thin pieces. Arrange on a plate with seaweed salad, pickled ginger, and a dollop of wasabi. Drizzle the caramel soy sauce over the tuna.
