Sashimi Tuna Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Season tuna all over with salt and pepper. Heat a nonstick skillet to high. Sear all 4 sides of fillet until cooked 1/4 inch on each side, 15 to 30 seconds each side. Transfer to a bowl of ice water and let cool; pat dry. Transfer to a cutting board and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch slices.
• Slice carrot, zucchini, and beet into thin ribbons with a vegetable peeler. Toss with lettuce and scallion. Pour 1/4 cup dressing on a large lunch plate and top with a mound of lettuce mixture. Place tuna slices around lettuce mixture; serve.

Steps:

• Combine the cabbage, tuna, mango and avocado in a bowl. Sprinkle with lemon pepper.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, honey, wasabi and ginger. Optional: You can also add lemon or lime juice and a little olive oil. Note: I buy my tuna and wasabi paste from an Asian market.
• Gently toss dressing with salad and enjoy.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or a broiler.
• Sprinkle a little sea salt and pepper on the tuna. Briefly sear the tuna on all sides until its surface turns white. Plunge the fish into a bowl of ice water to stop it cooking any further. Shake off the excess water. Cut the tuna into 1/8-inch thick slices. Toss the greens with some of the Matsuhisa dressing and place on a plate. Top with the sliced tuna. Drizzle with a little more dressing.
• Combine all of the ingredients except the oils. When the salt is fully dissolved, add the oils. Set aside.

Steps:

• Thinly slice the tuna steak (sashimi-style). Place the thin layers of tuna on a plate. Remove the rind and pith of 1/2 an orange, then slice and quarter. Remove the rind and pith of 1/2 a grapefruit, then slice and quarter. Lay the orange and grapefruit quarters on top of the tuna.
• Juice the remaining orange half into a small bowl and whisk in the soy sauce and lemon juice. Drizzle the sauce over the tuna and citrus. Sprinkle the tuna with chopped mint and diced jalapenos.
• In a small saute pan, heat the oil over high heat and quickly fry the rice noodles for 1 minute. Sprinkle them over the top and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or broiler or lightly oiled cast iron pan.
• Season the fish with a little sea salt and black pepper.
• Briefly sear the tuna until its surface turns white.
• Plunge the filet into iced water to stop it from cooking any further.
• Shake off the excess water.
• When sliced, the center of the tuna should be very pink with the edges seared white.
• For the dressing, combine the onion, rice vinegar, water, granulated sugar, pinch of sea salt, mustard, ground black and ground black pepper in a bowl.
• Stir until the salt and mustard have dissolved.
• Add the grapeseed and sesame oils and soy sauce.
• Mix well.
• Pour 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the onion dressing into a serving dish.
• Arrange the salad greens into the center of the dish.
• Cut the tuna into thin slices.
• Place the tuna around the salad greens.
• Drizzle with a bit of the dressing and serve cold.
• Garnish with carrot curls, sliced green onions, white radish strings, or a bit of seaweed for an added twist.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Prepare an ice bath; set aside. Season tuna on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add tuna, and sear on both sides until the surface of the tuna becomes white, about 6 seconds per side. Plunge the tuna fillet into the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain, and shake to remove excess water.
• Divide vegetables between 4 plates. Cut the tuna crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Roll each slice into a cylinder, and place them around the vegetables. Drizzle dressing between tuna rolls. Serve immediately.
