Tuna steaks are often coated with the typical sesame seeds. I was looking to create something a little extra special, so I started with trial and error. This was the result… and it was just what I was hoping to create! This tuna is a bit exotic, yet classic at the same time, and makes a perfect topping for any salad. Serve it for seudah shelishit, when friends visit, or for a weekday lunch.

Magnificent! This is literally perfection, the perfect way everyone should be enjoying tuna steaks!
As a picky eater, I don’t touch fish, but my husband licked this clean, and it smelled so good, I was salivating and re-thinking my picky eater status. And SO easy too!
