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.

My husband and I LOVE this dish. It always the one we pick when we want a special meal and we can get fresh Tuna. This one make we meow. It's worth the hour+ drive to get to the supermarket that we know can get fresh fish. No changes made or needed,

I LOVED this salad. It had so much kick! It was a little salty, but I think that it was the soy sauce that I used. I will use low sodium next time. I forgot to add the avocado at the end, but it was still delicious. I used wasabi paste instead of powder because it was easier to find. I will definitely make this again. I am trying to think of other meats that could be used in this recipe aside from tuna.

Way to salty. Next time I will just salt the tuna and then add salt if needed when on my plate. I also thought it had too much lime. I only used 2 juiced limes, next time I will use one and only zest one. Otherwise good, I really loved the tuna. Easy to make and fast which I liked too.
