Marinade and Topping

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Marinate the Tuna

    In a bowl, combine the finely chopped shallot, minced garlic, turmeric powder, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade. Add the ahi tuna and coat it evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sear the Tuna

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the marinated tuna for about 1-2 minutes on each side, ensuring the inside remains rare. Remove from heat and let it rest for a minute.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Slice the seared tuna into thin pieces. Arrange on a plate and garnish with sliced almonds and chopped dill. Serve immediately.
