1
Prepare the Marinade
In a small bowl, finely chop the shallots and garlic. Add the turmeric powder, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
2
Marinate the Tuna
Place the ahi tuna steak in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the tuna, ensuring it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3
Sear the Tuna
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil to the pan. Once hot, sear the marinated tuna for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown but still rare in the center.
4
Plate the Dish
Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Slice the tuna into thin strips and arrange on a serving plate. Top with sliced almonds and fresh dill.
