Sesame-Crusted Seared Ahi Tuna

Marinating the tuna for at least an hour and cooking it until it's just medium-rare ensures it doesn't end up dry. Be sure to spring for sushi-grade fish⁠—the simplicity and deliciousness of this recipe make it worth the splurge.

 2 tbsp sesame oil
 2 tbsp coconut aminos
 ¼ lime(juiced)
 12 oz ahi tuna(sushi grade)
 ¼ cup sesame seeds(toasted)

1

In a shallow bowl, combine the sesame oil, coconut aminos, and lime juice. Add the tuna and coat well. Cover and let marinate in the fridge for one hour.

2

When ready to cook, remove the tuna from the marinade and shake off excess liquid. Coat in sesame seeds.

3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high to high heat. When the pan is hot, sear the tuna for 2 to 3 minutes, flipping halfway, for medium rare. Sear longer if you prefer medium or well-done tuna.

Divide onto plates and enjoy immediately!
