Tuna Tadaki

Directions

• Preparation
• Place the sashimi-grade tuna on a plate. Evenly sprinkle salt over the surface and let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
• Rinse the tuna and pat it dry thoroughly using a sashimi drying cloth or paper towel. Wrap it in a dry paper towel and refrigerate for 15 minutes to let it dry further.
• Spread the sesame seeds on a separate plate. Roll the tuna in the seeds to coat the surface evenly.
• Cooking
• Heat a non-stick pan over high heat and spray with olive oil. Sear each side of the tuna for about 1 minute (adjust based on thickness).
• Once all sides are browned, transfer the tuna to a wooden cutting board and let it rest for 3 minutes.
• Carefully slice the tuna and serve with your choice of sauce!
