This Ahi Tuna recipe was so easy and so delicious.

I found this on Pinterest and followed it to the website "Sisters Do Food and Fitness"  (Click the picture to go to the website.) Right after I publish this post I am going back to the website to find more recipes to try.

This was my first time cooking Tuna that wasn't in a can or a pouch. I switched the black sesame seeds to Everything But The Bagel Seasoning. I served it over rice and vegetable stirfry and drizzled the tuna with the dipping sauce. IT WAS SO GOOD!

Ahi Tuna

2 (5 ounce) ahi tuna steaks

1/4 c. panko breadcrumbs

1/4 c. black sesame seeds

1 tbsp. sesame oil

Soy Dipping Sauce -

1/2 c. soy sauce

2 tbsp. lime juice

1 clove garlic, crushed

2 tbsp. honey

2 tbsp. cilantro, chopped

1 tbsp. sesame oil

1 tbsp. Sriracha (or red chili sauce)

Directions:

In a small bowl, combine all ingredients for the soy dipping sauce. Place in refrigerator to chill.

In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp. sesame oil over medium-high heat. 

Combine panko and black sesame seeds in a large bowl. Roll the ahi tuna steaks in the panko mixture to coat.

Gently place the crusted tuna in the skillet and cook to desired doneness, 1 minute per side for rare.

Use filing sauce sparingly - very salty.
