Fish and Marinade
Garnishes
Method
Preparation
Marinate the Tuna
In a shallow dish, combine the soy sauce, mirin, and sesame oil. Add the fresh tuna loin, making sure it's fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the Garnishes
While the tuna is marinating, toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden and fragrant. Chop the green onions finely.
Searing
Sear the Tuna
Remove the tuna from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Heat a skillet over high heat and add a little oil. Sear the tuna for about 30 seconds on each side, just enough to create a crust while keeping the center rare. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Serving
Plate the Tuna
Slice the tuna loin into thin sashimi-style pieces. Arrange on a plate, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions, and garnish with microgreens. Serve with wasabi on the side.
