Pan Seared Ahi Tuna with Ginger Wasabi Sauce

Wasabi and Seafood....Lately, I cannot get enough!  I was on a mission for lobster, after my son had sat in Santa's lap and asked for shrimp and lobster over the weekend, but when I saw this gorgeous piece of tuna, I jumped on it too! So simple and totally ahhhmazing!



What you need...
yellowfin tuna, ahi grade (this was .65 lbs.)
1/8 cup tamari
1/8 cup rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sriracha
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger root
1 tablespoon coconut oil

Rinse tuna and pat dry.  Place into a glass bowl.  Mix all remaining ingredients and pour over.  Refrigerate for 1 hour, turning every 15 minutes to coat in marinade.  Place coconut oil into a sautΓ© pan and heat to high heat.  Place fish in pan and sear for 30 seconds per side until gently browned on all sides.  Let rest 2 minutes, slice and serve with wasabi sauce.

for the sauce...
1 tsp wasabi paste (water & wasabi powder 1:1)
the juice of 1/2 lime
2 tablespoons mayo
Mix to combine.
