Ingredients
-
2 Sizzlefish Ahi Tuna
2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
2 tablespoons Honey
2 tablespoons Black and White Sesame Seeds
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Black Pepper
2 tablespoons Cooking Oil
Spring Onion Chopped for Garnish
Directions
Begin by letting your Sizzlefish Tuna thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
Whisk together the Soy Sauce, Honey, half the Olive Oil, Salt and Black Pepper for the marinade and let the tuna steep in these flavors, either in the fridge(30 minutes) or at room temperature(5-10 minutes).
Generously coat both sides with White and Black Sesame Seeds.
In a sizzling hot skillet with Olive Oil, give each side a swift 2-3 minute sear.
Slice, garnish with spring onions, and enjoy!
