Seared Ahi Avocado Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the cilantro, jalapeno, ginger, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir the ingredients together until well incorporated.
• Place a skillet over medium-high heat and coat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season the tuna generously with salt and pepper. Lay the tuna in the hot oil and sear for 1 minute on each side to form a slight crust. Pour 1/2 of the cilantro mixture into the pan to coat the fish. Serve the seared tuna with the sliced avocado and the remaining cilantro sauce drizzled over the whole plate.

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!

Steps:

• Brush your Ahi with Extra Virgin olive oil and lightly salt and pepper each side.
• Sear your fresh Ahi over a hot mesquite grill. This gives a wonderful flavor from the mesquite. 90 seconds on each side is sufficient. Set aside to rest and cool.
• -Salsa-
• In a medium bowl, add lime juice, ginger, Olive oil, garlic, fresco chili, sugar, scallions, cilantro, and soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• -Shrimp garnish-
• Clean and de-vein shrimp.
• In a hot skillet, add a bit of olive oil. Add shrimp and cook for 90 seconds, coat with a bit of soy sauce, flip and repeat.
• -Assembly-.
• Layer avocado on a small plate. Slice Ahi into 1/4" slabs against the grain. Should yield about 12 slices. Layer 4 slices on the avocado. Add a ribbon of Salsa along the center of the Ahi. Garnish with 4 pieces of shrimp on the outside.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine cumin, cayenne, salt, pepper and coriander.
• Rub spice mixture generously on both sides of the tuna.
• Preheat oven to 350°F for the taco shells.
• Heat a nonstick pan on the stove over high heat. When pan is smoking hot, add olive oil, wait 10 seconds, then add tuna. Sear for 1 minute per side, or until fish is cooked on the outside, but rare on the inside. Transfer to a plate.
• Separate taco shells and place them in the oven for 4 minutes (timing is everything here, since they go from perfectly done to burned after about 1 additional minute).
• While the shells are heating, dice tuna into 1/4-inch cubes.
• To serve, fill all eight taco shells halfway with salsa. Spoon tuna over salsa and squeeze a spritz of lime juice overtop. Serve immediately.
• Avocado Salsa: Avocado is just ripe if it indents with the firm press of a finger.
• Add all ingredients to a medium-size bowl. Toss gently. DO NOT MASH AVOCADO.
