Wasabi Lime Tuna Salad Recipes

SEARED AHI TUNA AND SALAD OF MIXED GREENS WITH WASABI VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Coat your steak with a combination of five-spice powder and grill seasoning or salt and pepper. Heat a grill pan or griddle over high heat. Spray grill surface or wipe with a thin layer of oil. Add tuna steak to the hot cooking surface and sear tuna 2 minutes on each side. Remove tuna from heat.
• Combine greens, radishes and cucumber in a bowl. In a smaller bowl, whisk wasabi, vinegar and soy sauce. Whisk in oil to combine dressing. Drizzle dressing over your salad and toss to coat evenly. Slice tuna on an angle and arrange on the salad.

TUNA SALAD

Steps:

• Brush the tuna steaks with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the tuna steaks in a very hot saute pan and cook for only 1 minute on each side. Set aside on a platter.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, pepper, lime zest, wasabi, lime juice, soy sauce and hot sauce. Add the avocados to the vinaigrette.
• Cut the tuna in chunks and place it in a large bowl. Add the scallions and red onion and mix well. Pour the vinaigrette mixture over the tuna and carefully mix.

WASABI SESAME CRUSTED SEARED AHI TUNA SALAD

Steps:

• For the fish: Blend the wasabi seeds, cracked black pepper and Hawaiian sea salt in a medium bowl. Place the ahi steaks in the bowl, and carefully roll and flip the steaks to ensure they are completely coated. Remove the steaks to a plate and refrigerate until ready to cook.
• For the vinaigrette: Mix together the honey, vinegar, pepper and mustard in a small bowl, then stream in the oil, whisking constantly.
• For the salad: Slice, dice, chop and mix the spring mix, capers, carrots, tomatoes, cabbage, cucumber, romaine and onion, to your liking, then toss with some vinaigrette and plate four salads. Place one lemon wedge on the side of each plate and quarter the avocados. Slice each quartered avocado 3 to 6 times, creating an avocado fan out of each quarter. Set aside.
• Before heating your grill, you will need to scrape, clean and then oil it. Once clean, preheat to medium-high and close until ripping hot, about 10 minutes. Fold a clean dish towel into a squarish 4-by-6-inch block. Pour 2 cups vegetable oil into a bowl and dip one side of your dish towel block in the oil.
• Open the grill and begin coating grill grates with the oiled towel block. Repeat until grill grates are slick and clean. Pour the sesame oil on a small plate. Place each steak in the sesame oil on both sides, then on the grill.
• Cook for 1 minute on each side. Then pull immediately from grill, slice 1/8- to 1/4-inch-thick with a heavy sharp blade and place directly on your plated salads. Top each salad with an avocado fan. Lastly, pair your dish with a nice Chardonnay or a local IPA. Cheers and enjoy!

WASABI TUNA SALAD

Steps:

• You'll want to flake your tuna first. I prefer to use a potato masher, but so long as it gets flaked to bits, it'll work. Use what suits you best.
• Mix in the mayo and relish thoroughly, to your desired consistency.
• Mix in the spoonful of wasabi powder, distributing it evenly throughout the tuna-mayo mixture.
• Seal and refrigerate for 1 or two hours before using, allowing the flavors to mingle properly. It's as simple as that.

• Grill tuna on a oiled rack set about 5-6 inches over glowing coals. 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare fish. (Alternatively, grill tuna in a preheated oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan).
• Make sauce while tuna marinates:.
• In a heavy saucepan combine scallions, coriander, lime juice, soy sauce and wasabi paste and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low and whisk in butter, 1 piece at a time, lifting pan from heat occasionally to cool mixture and adding each new piece before previous one has melted completely. (Do not allow sauce to simmer. Sauce should not get hot enough to seperate).
• This dish goes well served with garlic mashed potatoes and french green beans.
