Sesame Hoisin Tuna Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the mayonnaise, sesame oil, lime juice, chili garlic paste, black sesame seeds and red pepper flakes in a large bowl. Fold in the tuna and green onions and season with salt. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.

Steps:

• Whisk tamari, sesame oil, mirin, honey, vinegar, ginger, green onions, and garlic together in a bowl until marinade is evenly mixed. Place tuna steaks in the marinade and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Spread sesame seeds onto a plate. Remove tuna from marinade and discard marinade. Press tuna into sesame seeds until evenly coated.
• Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot; cook tuna in the hot oil until cooked to desired doneness, 30 seconds to 5 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium heat.
• Brush both sides of fish steaks evenly with oil; season with pepper.
• Grill 3 to 4 min. on each side or until medium-rare doneness. Remove from grill; cover to keep warm.
• Combine all remaining ingredients except nuts; place on platter. Slice the fish; place on salad. Sprinkle with nuts.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, mirin, honey and sesame oil. Divide into two equal parts. Stir the rice vinegar into one part and set aside as a dipping sauce.
• Spread the sesame seeds out on a plate. Coat the tuna steaks with the remaining soy sauce mixture, then press into the sesame seeds to coat.
• Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Place steaks in the pan, and sear for about 30 seconds on each side. Serve with the dipping sauce and wasabi paste.

Steps:

• Make the sauce. Stir-fry the scallions, ginger and garlic in the sesame oil for one to two minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and pour the sauce into a small bowl. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, preheat the grill. Sprinkle the tuna fish with olive oil on both sides and season with salt and liberal grindings of pepper. Grill the fish for two to three minutes on each side for rare, longer if you wish it more well-done. Serve with the sauce on the side.

Steps:

• To create the vinaigrette, combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk until emulsified.
