Instructions

Pat the tuna loin completely dry with paper towels.

Season generously with salt and pepper.

Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed frying pan over high heat until smoking hot.

Add 1 tablespoon of neutral oil (like grapeseed or canola) to the pan.

Sear the tuna for 30-45 seconds per side, just enough to create a crust.

You want the center to remain rare.

Immediately transfer the tuna to an ice bath or very cold water for 1 minute to stop the cooking.

Remove, pat dry, and thinly slice the tuna.

In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, grated ginger, wasabi paste, and sesame oil to create the vinaigrette.

In a larger bowl, combine the mixed greens, shelled edamame, and diced avocado.

Toss gently with half of the vinaigrette.

Arrange the dressed greens and vegetables on a plate.

Top with the sliced tuna tataki.

Drizzle the remaining vinaigrette over the tuna.

Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and thinly sliced scallions.

Serve immediately.
