• Now start the tuna: TUNA Cut up tuna in large bite size pieces Coat with blackening seasoning Heat oil in pan till very hot, but not smoking Sear tuna on all sides for about 7-10 minutes total.
• Do not overcook.

• This can also be made with peeled jumbo shrimp.

Steps:

• Generously coat tuna with Cajun seasoning.
• Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over high heat. When oil is nearly smoking, place steaks in pan. Cook on one side for 3 to 4 minutes, or until blackened. Turn steaks, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or to desired doneness.

Steps:

• Prepare sauce: Mix the mustard powder and hot water to form a paste. Let sit for a few minutes. Add vinegar and soy sauce mix together, and strain. Chill.
• Warm the Buerre Blanc in a double boiler. Mix all the spices together on a plate and dredge the ahi on all sides. Heat a lightly oiled cast-iron skillet and sear the ahi over high heat to desired doneness (about 15 seconds per side for rare). Cut into 16 thin slices.
• For each serving, arrange 4 slices of the ahi in a pinwheel. Ladle a little of the Soy-Mustard Sauce in two opposing quadrants, ladle the Buerre Blanc in the other two quadrants of the plate. Garnish decoratively with the pickled ginger on the Buerre Blanc and the sesame seeds on the Soy-Mustard Sauce. Arrange remaining garnish at the center of the pinwheel.

Steps:

• To prepare the mustard sauce, mix the mustard powder and hot water together in a cup to form a paste. Let sit for a few minutes to allow the flavor and heat to develop. Add the vinegar and soy sauce, mix together, and pass through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop. Prepare the beurre blanc and warm in the top of a double boiler. Mix all of the blackening spice ingredients together on a plate. Dredge the ahi in the spice mixture on all sides. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over high heat and sear the ahi for 15 to 30 seconds on each side for rare, 1 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to the desired doneness. Remove the ahi and cut into 20 thin slices. For each serving arrange 5 slices of ahi in a fan, pinwheel, or cross shape on the plate. Spoon or drizzle a little of the soy mustard sauce around the tuna, and then spoon or drizzle the beurre blanc around. To garnish, arrange a small mound of the pickled ginger next to the fish and top with the daikon sprouts. Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the soy-mustard sauce

Steps:

• Combine the mayo, scallions, parsley, vinegar, and mustard in bowl.
• mix paprika, thyme, oregano, garlic powder, cayenne, and salt in a small bowl.
• Sprinkle the mixture over both sides of each tuna steak.
• heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet until just starting to smoke.
• add tuna and cook until done, 2 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
• serve the steaks with the sauce on the side.

Steps:

• To make the blackening spice, combine all the ingredients and mix thoroughly. Set aside.
• To make the remoulade, combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• To make the salad, place a cast-iron skillet over high heat for 5 minutes and turn on the exhaust fan. Place the blackening spice on a plate and use your hands to adhere as much as possible to the fish, covering all sides. Place 2 chunks of the butter on one side of the fish and place it, butter side down, in the hot pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the surface of the fish is lightly blackened. Place the remaining butter on the uncooked side of the fish and turn. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until the tuna is medium rare. Place the tuna on a cutting board and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the watercress, endive, tomato and the 16 basil leaves. Add 4 tablespoons of the remoulade and toss to coat. Transfer the greens to a platter. Using a sharp knife, slice the tuna on the bias into thin slices. Lay the slices over the greens and top the tuna with the remaining remoulade. Garnish with more thinly sliced basil and serve.
