Albacore Tuna Tataki With Citrus-Ginger Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

3 very fresh albacore tuna fillets
4 tablespoons sesame seeds
canola oil for searing
Citrus-ginger Sauce :
2 tablespoons honey (or more to taste)
4 tablespoons soy sauce
a few drops of sesame oil
juice of one orange
juice of half a lemon
juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoons saké (or mirin)
2 thin slices of ginger
Salad Garnish:
shaved cucumber, sliced avocado, frisee lettuce, thinly sliced green onions

How to make it

Combine all ingredients for the sauce; set aside (the sliced ginger will infuse the sauce).
On a shallow plate, pour the sesame seeds. Season the tuna with cracked black pepper and salt. Coat the tuna in the sesame seeds, pressing lightly so they stick to the tuna.
Place a saute pan over high heat. Add the oil and sear the tuna on both sides, about 1 minute per side.
In a bowl combine the cucumber, green onions and frisee. Toss with some of the citrus-ginger sauce.
Slice the chilled tuna across the grain, faning it out into 3-4 pieces per plate. Place some of the dressed greens on 4 plates. Top with sliced tuna, garnish with avocado and drizzle with some more of the citrus-ginger sauce
