Recipe for seared tuna with sesame
Seared tuna with sesame seeds is a delicacy that is really delicious as an appetizer.
Slice the fish into thin pieces and serve it, for example, on a bed of mixed greens tossed with an oil/vinegar dressing and some crispy rye bread chips as a crunchy topping.
Remember that the fish needs time to marinate with salt before cooking. This is important as it ensures the meat has the right texture.
Ingredients
- 200 gram Tuna yellowfin
- Salt
- Sesame Seeds
Instructions
- We used 200 grams of yellowfin tuna for 2 people. Our piece is bought fresh from the fishmonger.
- Take the fish out of the fridge 30 minutes before serving.
- Season the fish with gourmet salt by sprinkling salt on all sides.
- Let it rest for 15 minutes, then rinse it well under cold water.
- Pat the fish dry before use.
- Pour sesame seeds onto a plate. Roll the tuna in it, so all sides are covered with sesame seeds.
- Heat a non-stick pan to a very high temperature. Sear the tuna on a dry pan for 30 seconds on each side.
