I am a huge fan but I was extremely disappointed with this. The problem I ran into was that the honey mustard was very sticky and the sesame seeds were too few. So it stuck to my pan and made a huge mess.
I hate it when reviewers write in and tell you what they changed, but I have a marinade that you could use in lieu of the honey mustard.
1/4 C each black and white sesame seeds
1 T sesame oil
2-6 ounces of ahi Tuna
Marinade:
1/2 c low sodium soy sauce, 1 lime (juice and zest, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 T honey, 1 T sesame oil
Marinate the tuna in a ziploc with HALF OF the sauce (reserve the rest for dipping and refrigerate an hour. Take out and let stand at room temp for 20 min. Remove from bag, dry on paper towels. Heat a saute pan and add 1 T sesame oil . Put sesame seeds on a flat dish and roll the tuna around in the seeds pressing down to make sure they are packed on. Add to hot pan. Sear on both sides for desired doneness. Serve with the reserved dipping sauce.

Wonderful! We love tuna but often find it too dry. This was the perfect way to prepare a delicious, moist tuna very quickly!

This was delicious. I did not have honey mustard, so I made my own with Dijon and Honey. I only had white sesame seeds. Then, I cooked it on my Panini Grill and it was outstanding. My picky son had 2 helpings, and that is really something.
