AHI TUNA PARFAIT WITH TWO CAVIARS
Every cook should have a repertoire of showoff dishes as easy to make as this one. It consists of molded layers of silken ahi tuna and two caviars, the pungent wasabi-spiked tobiko, which is flavored flying fish roe, and osetra, the deliciously briny eggs of the like-named sturgeon. I don't advocate using deluxe ingredients just because they're deluxe, but this dish gives them a perfect showcase.

Steps:
- To make the vinaigrette, combine the mustard, vinegar, oil, and tobiko in a small bowl. Season with the salt and pepper and whisk lightly.
- In a small chilled bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Reserve.
- Fill a large bowl with ice. Place a medium bowl in the ice and add the tuna, Tabasco sauce, chopped chives, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix lightly.
- Spray the insides of four 1- to 1 1/2-inch ring molds, or tuna cans with tops and bottoms removed, with nonstick cooking spray. Layer the tuna mixture and caviars in the molds as follows: one-eighth of the tuna, one-fourth of the tobiko, one-eighth of the tuna, one-fourth of the osetra. Press down lightly on the parfaits after each layer with the bottom of a Tabasco bottle (it's the perfect size) or the butt end of a whisk. Top the layers with a thin layer of the cream, smooth to cover, and unmold cream side up onto white serving plates. Or use the Tabasco bottle to push the parfaits from the bottom, then carefully lift them onto a plate. Garnish each portion with 2 chives. Drizzle the vinaigrette around and serve with demitasse spoons.

Place cabbage, carrots, basil, mint, and cilantro in the bowl with the dressing. Toss to combine. Set aside.
- Pour the sesame seeds out onto a plate. Press the tuna into the seeds on both sides, pressing gently so the sesame seeds stick.
- Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch non-stick pan over medium high heat. Add fish to pan and cook until rare, about 2 minutes per side. Alternatively, cook until done to your likeness. Slice thin and distribute among 4 serving plates. Serve with a generous portion of Napa cabbage slaw.
AHI TUNA AND PASTA WITH MUSHROOM BECHAMEL
I wanted to elevate this dish from the tuna can to the saute pan by creating something with pure ingredients, while maintaining a resemblance to the original texture and flavor profile. I replaced the fully cooked canned or pouch tuna in favor of fresh ahi tuna lightly seared with a rare center.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) or the lowest setting. Set tuna fillets out on the counter to take the chill off.
- Prepare bechamel sauce by melting 3 tablespoons butter in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add flour and whisk constantly until a copper-colored paste (roux) forms. Slowly whisk in milk and stir constantly until heated through and thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove bechamel from the heat.
- Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add gemelli and boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
- While the gemelli is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons butter and a drizzle of olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat until hot enough to hear a sizzle. Add mushrooms and saute until softened and golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add Marsala wine and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Reheat the bechamel. Add the mushroom mixture and stir to combine.
- Drain gemelli and add to the Dutch oven. Stir to combine with the mushroom sauce mixture. Cover and transfer to the preheated oven to keep warm.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Add panko and saute until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and wipe out the hot skillet.
- Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil; heat until just shimmering. Swirl the oil in the pan and add tuna fillets. Cover the skillet and sear tuna for 2 minutes. Flip and sear the other sides for 1 1/2 minutes.
- Immediately transfer tuna to a large cutting board and thinly slice across the grain. Plate tuna on warmed plates with gemelli and mushroom mixture. Garnish with panko and parsley.

SEARED AHI TUNA WITH BLACKBERRY-PASSION FRUIT MARINADE
This is a great summer dish. The marinade is great for grilling tuna, too. I usually serve this with a spinach salad with my passion fruit-dijon vinaigrette or my fennel salad. You can serve it with steamed white rice or over lettuce, thinly sliced cabbage, or fennel. Pair it with a passion fruit lemonade, a fruity cocktail, or a glass of light and fruity wine.

Steps:
- Pat the ahi tuna steaks dry with a paper towel. Place on a plate or inside a plastic bag.
- Mix the soy sauce (2 tablespoons), toasted sesame oil (1 tablespoon), honey (1 tablespoon) kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon- OMIT if marinating for more than a couple hours, see notes), pepper (1/4 teaspoon), and cayenne pepper (1/4 teaspoon) until honey is fully dissolved. Pour over the ahi tuna steaks and turn over to coat completely. Optional: allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator. Also optional: Reserve a spoonful or two of the marinade before coating the fish for drizzling on top after you've cooked it.
- Heat a medium skillet (preferably non-stick or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet) on medium-high to high until very hot ( or medium medium-high for nonstick). I recommend giving cast iron 3-5 minutes to get hot and nonstick about 1 minute, depending on how thick it is.
- Add the canola oil (1 tablespoon) to the hot pan. Sear the tuna for 2 minutes on each side for medium rare (1.5 minutes on each side for rare; 3 on each side for medium). (Note: different burners get hotter depending on your stove. Use your best judgement whether you use medium, medium-high, or high heat, as the marinade may burn if too high heat is used).
- Remove to a cutting board and allow to rest for at least 3 minutes. Slice into 1/2 inch slices and serve garnished with green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice, if desired.

SEARED SESAME-CRUSTED AHI TUNA
I have tried several different recipes for making ahi tuna and was disappointed every time. So I have blended several things about other recipes to create this. I'm sure this isn't completely original, but it is original to me. This can be served as a main course with some rice and asparagus (or stir-fry vegetables) or as an appetizer. I like a little soy sauce for dipping, but there are many other spicier dipping sauces you could use.

Steps:
- Rinse tuna and pat dry. Place in a prep dish and sprinkle both sides with blackened seasoning. Brush teriyaki sauce on all sides of the tuna to glaze it.

- Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat until smoking. Arrange tuna in the pan and cook for 30 to 45 seconds. Flip and cook for another 3o to 45 seconds; do not overcook!
- Quickly transfer tuna to a cutting board and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices. Arrange tuna on individual plates, overlapping slices slightly. Serve immediately.
