Seared Macadamia Crusted Tuna Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the papaya, onion, and red pepper in a bowl. Add the cilantro, lime juice, garlic, and hot chile paste. Toss to combine, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil grate.
• Brush the tuna steaks with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs in a shallow bowl until smooth. Dip the tuna steaks in the egg, and allow excess egg to run off. Press into the macadamia nuts.
• Cook the tuna steaks on the preheated grill to your desired degree of doneness, about 2 minutes per side for medium. Serve with the papaya salsa.

Steps:

• Rub fish with salt and pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of the olive oil, thyme, and tarragon. Press 1 tablespoon of the chopped macadamia nuts on each side. Put garlic, shallots, and 2 tablespoons olive oil in saute pan and heat on high until oil bubbles. Carefully place fish in the pan and sear about 15 seconds on each side for rare; 30 seconds on each side for medium rare. If you prefer well done fish, start at a low heat and saute until done. This preparation can be done with mahi mahi or ono too.
• Serve with your favorite starch and vegetables.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan to high.
• Put cubed tuna in a mixing bowl with olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss to incorporate the seasoning. Skewer the tuna through the center half way down the skewer. Season again with salt and pepper. Sear on a very hot grill for 10 seconds on all sides. Cool and serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Have tuna sliced as thick as possible cutting against the grain into 1 1/2-inch rectangular pieces. Rub the fish with olive oil and roll in thyme, peppercorns, salt, and pepper. On a very hot grill sear the fish on each side for 30 seconds to 1 minute depending upon the desired doneness. Set aside and slice into 1-inch thick pieces.
• For wasabi mayonnaise, start with 1 tablespoon of wasabi powder mixed with mayonnaise and add more, if desired, to taste.
• Slice ginger into very thin sticks about 1-inch long. Place ginger, sugar, water and lemon juice into heavy saucepan and reduce to thick syrup. Be careful not to boil past medium ball state.
• On individual washed white endive leaves place fish. Garnish with wasabi mayonnaise that has been put in a squeeze bottle and finish with a few pieces of ginger confit.

Steps:

• In a dry skillet on medium heat, toast the white sesame seeds until they are just beginning to turn light golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and spread seeds on a plate. Add the black sesame seeds to the plate if using, and stir seeds around with fingertips to combine.
• Brush the tuna pieces on all sides with olive oil. Season on all sides with salt and pepper, and dip tuna pieces in the seeds, pressing to coat on all sides. Set aside on a wax foil lined cookie sheet.
• When ready to cook, heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil on medium high in the skillet. When oil is hot, add the butter, when the butter foams, add the fish to the skillet. Let cook without moving the fish for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, until the sesame crust begins to crisp and brown. When the crust is golden brown, turn the fish and cook until the other side is golden brown and crisp, about another 2 minutes, adding additional butter if needed to keep the fish from sticking and speed up the browning. Once the second side is browned, turn the fish pieces on edge with tongs, to brown the remaining sides.
• Remove from heat and set aside. Fish will be medium rare at this point. If you prefer fish more well done, place the ban with the fish in a 375 degree F oven for another 3 to 5 minutes.
• To serve, slice each portion in half and place on the pasta bed with the edges overlapping. Sprinkle with finishing salt, if desired.

Steps:

• Mix the cream and powdered wasabi in a small saucepan. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil. Then set aside.
• On a plate spread the black pepper. Press 1 side of the tuna steak onto the black pepper. Repeat with the other steak. Place a cast iron skillet over high heat. Add oil, and when smoking, place the tuna into the pan, pepper side down. Cook for approximately 1 to 2 minutes on each side. As the tuna cooks, the red meat will become whiter. Once you have cooked both sides, the tuna will be almost raw in the middle, thus seared.
• Slice the tuna, and arrange on a plate. Drizzle the wasabi sauce around and on top of the tuna. Lightly sprinkle with finely grated ginger. Serve immediately.

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.
• Mix white and black sesame seeds together in a shallow dish. Dredge tuna in the sesame seeds until all sides are coated.
• 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.

Steps:

• Preheat grill. Brush both sides of each tuna steak with 2 teaspoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on the hot grill and cook for 2 minutes per side for rare. Saute onions and garlic in 2 tablespoon olive oil until soft and fragrant. Add tomatoes, olives, parsley and capers and simmer until tomato juice evaporates. Season to taste. Spoon sauce over tuna steaks.

Steps:

• 1. Season fish with salt and pepper. Rub 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and all of the thyme and tarragon on each tuna fillet. Press chopped macadamias on each side of the fillets.
• 2. Put garlic, shallots, and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in sauté pan and heat on high until oil bubbles. Carefully place fish in the pan and sear about 15 seconds on each side for rare; 30 seconds on each side for medium rare. If you prefer well done fish, start at a low heat and sauté until done.
• 3. Serve immediately, each serving garnish with a fresh lemon wedge.
