Photo: Tuna Salad Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 pounds very fresh tuna steak, cut 1-inch thick
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for brushing
- 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus extra for sprinkling
- 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black, plus extra for sprinkling
- 2 limes, zest grated
- 1 teaspoon wasabi powder
- 6 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (3 limes)
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 10 dashes hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)
- 1 to 2 ripe Hass avocados, medium diced
- 1/4 cup minced scallions, white and green parts (2 scallions)
- 1/4 cup red onion, small diced
Directions
Brush the tuna steaks with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the tuna steaks in a very hot saute pan and cook for only 1 minute on each side. Set aside on a platter.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, pepper, lime zest, wasabi, lime juice, soy sauce and hot sauce. Add the avocados to the vinaigrette.
Cut the tuna in chunks and place it in a large bowl. Add the scallions and red onion and mix well. Pour the vinaigrette mixture over the tuna and carefully mix.

I liked this recipe very much, I did however make a few changes based on availability and preference. I was out of Wasabi, so substituted cayenne, and I added agave for sweetness. Because I am not a red onion fan, I substituted cilantro. I did heed the other reviews and used only two limes. This was so wonderful. Also, cooked the tuna on each side for one minute, lovely.

My husband and I LOVE this recipe. However, I did not salt and pepper the tuna before searing as there was plenty of salt in the soy sauce. I used just 4 Tbsp. of lime juice. I agree, as written, it was just too tart. Also added a couple tsp. or so of agave nectar to sweeten the dressing.Keep tasting and adjusting. Only used half of the amount of dressing, which lightened it up a bit.
