Grilled Ahi Tuna Salad with Wasabi Vinaigrette
Posted 03.29.2009 by thecookinghusband in Recipes,
Tonight I decided to cook a light dinner since our meal was big last night and I wanted to take it easy cooking. Jen is not a big fan of raw fish on salad so if I was making this for just me I would of only seared the outside of the fish which would of cooked a total of 1 minute. However, since Jen is who I was cooking for I made the tuna the way she likes it.
Grilled Ahi Tuna with Wasabi Vinaigrette

1 Ahi tuna steak
sesame oil
salt and pepper
2 avocados, peeled, pitted and thinly sliced
1 bag of sweet butter salad mix
handful of vine tomatoes cut int half
Preheat the grill and brush tuna with oil season.

Season the tuna with salt and pepper on both sides.

Grill tuna on high heat for one minute on each side and obtain grill marks (since Jen is not a fan raw tuna I cooked each side for 2 minutes).

Remove from the grill and let rest for several minutes.

While the tuna is resting time to make the Wasabi Vinaigrette.
Wasabi Vinaigrette
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 teaspoons wasabi horseradish
1/4 cup olive oil
salt and pepper
Whisk all ingredients.

It should look like this:

Slice the tuna:

Plate with salad, tomatoes, tuna and drizzle dressing.

Happy Cooking!
