WASABI SEARED TUNA SALAD

I love a nice big dinner salad, and this one is great when you feel like something reminiscent of sushi."

Ingredients

  • 8ounces fresh sushi grade tuna steaks
  • 1tablespoon wasabi powder
  • 2tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 1tablespoon soy sauce, divided
  • 1avocado, sliced
  • 1⁄2cup shredded daikon radish
  • 2cups salad greens
  • 1tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • pickled ginger, for garnish

Direction

  1. Mix wasabi powder with just enough soy sauce to make a thick paste.
  2. Rub wasabi paste onto both sides of tuna steaks.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a nonstick skillet over med-high heat.
  4. Sear tuna for about 30-45 seconds on each side, just enough to get a crust.
  5. Slice tuna thin, and set aside.
  6. Arrange salad greens on a plate, and top with tuna, avocado, ginger, and daikon.
  7. Mix remaining soy sauce, oil, rice vinegar, and a little of the juice from the ginger if you have some, drizzle onto salads, and salt and pepper to taste.
  8. This goes great with Miso soup and a little sticky rice.
