A simple salad with furikaki-crusted tuna over a bed of greens topped with a kick of wasabi sesame vinaigrette. Fridge to table in less than 15 minutes! A very low calories and low carb meal for those looking to eat healthy.
Ingredients
Salad
- Two tuna steaks
- Furikaki rice seasoning
- Your choice of mixed greens
- 1/3 English cucumber, shaven
- 2-4 radishes, thinly sliced or shaven
- 1/2 of small red onion, thinly sliced or shaven
- Pickled ginger (optional)
Wasabi Sesame Vinaigrette
- 2 tbs peanut oil
- 1 tbs sesame oil
- 1 tbs wasabi paste
- 3 tbs rice wine vinegar
- 1/4 tsp fresh grated ginger or powdered ginger
Instructions
- Heat a pan to medium-high heat, cover the bottom with a neutral oil with a high smoke point (i.e., peanut oil, vegetable oil)
- Coat the tuna in the furikake seasoning along with salt and pepper as desired
- Sear the tuna in the oil for ~45 seconds on each side
- When cooked, store the tuna in the fridge until ready to eat
- Shave the cucumber, radishes, and onions using a mandolin or slice thinly using a knife
- Mix all the dressing ingredients together; whisk or shake to combine
- Toss the radish, onion, and cucumber mixture in the dressing to coat
- Remove the tuna from the fridge and slice thinly
- Place tuna and veggies on a bed of greens and drizzle with additional dressing as necessary
Notes
I recommend sushi or sashimi-grade tuna and a cast iron pan. Use less or more wasabi depending on your taste for spiciness and use your preference of spring mix.
