Pan Seared Tuna with Avocado, Soy and Lime

Ingredients

• 2 big handfuls fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped

• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

• 1 garlic clove, grated

• 2 limes, juiced

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

• Pinch sugar

• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

• 1 (6-ounce) block sushi-quality tuna

• 1 ripe avocado, halved, peeled, pitted, and sliced

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cilantro, ginger, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir the ingredients together until well incorporated.

2. Place a skillet over medium-high heat and coat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season the tuna generously with salt and pepper. Lay the tuna in the hot oil and sear for 1 minute on each side to form a slight crust. Pour 1/2 of the cilantro mixture into the pan to coat the fish. Serve the seared tuna with the sliced avocado and the remaining cilantro sauce drizzled over the whole plate.
