"I love fish and the comfort it brings. The freshness really matters I would recommend places like Whole Foods, Publix’s seafood or local fish market. I cook this a lot to give me my protein kick and not feel like a muscle man after consuming. Nice and light."

  • Step 1/4

    • ¾ heads lemons
    • ¾ cloves garlic (for serving)
    • resealable freezer bag
    • tongs (optional)

    After slice your Ahi tuna into reasonable cubes, let them soak for about 10-15 minutes in a air tight sealed bag with one of your sliced and juiced lemons and your garlics that has been sliced. Add 4-6 oz of the toasted sesame oil and let your cubes of Ahi tuna marinate in the fridge.

  • Step 2/4

    Now that we let your Ahi tuna marinate, take your nonstick pan and drizzle some extra virgin olive oil in the pan on medium heat till heat level is reached or small bubble form. Take the Ahi tuna out of your bag and apply desired amount of the seasoning to your spicy/heated preferences in pinches.

  • Step 3/4

    Once all sides of your Ahi tuna are seasoned and lightly seared on all sides pull them from the skillet and let them rest for about 3/5 minutes. Whilst this is happening take your other lemon and squeeze the juices on your hot tuna. With your skillet still on low-medium, add the garlic that was still in the marinating bag (if needed add more olive oil) and sautéed them till light brown then pull them and let them cool for about 1-2 minutes.
