Many of you know that my day job is not blogger - SHOCKER, right!? Thank goodness it isn’t because I blog like once a year if I’m lucky now. My day job is focusing on public relations - and actually content - but for paying clients. Let’s just say that one of my clients was a “local boutique grocery store that specializes in seafood.”
A few years ago, I spent some time with one of the team members on a television segment that focused on an easy seared sesame crusted ahi tuna recipe. You guys. I’m hooked. This recipe is so easy. And, cooking semi-raw tuna is so easy.

Here’s what I did:
Bought the tuna fresh - not frozen. If the tuna looks sketch, ask the fish monger if it’s “sushi grade” or just tell them you plan to eat it semi-raw.
When I was about to cook the tuna, I coated it in a little soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, pepper and lemon.
Then, I rolled the outside of the tuna in sesame seeds (I need to get some of the black seeds still).
I put oil in a pan and got it really hot. Like smoking hot. (Hence, why I almost caused sprinklers to go off).
You then cook the tuna for about 45 seconds on each side and you are DONE. Dinner in under 5 minutes!
I know my “recipe” is a little wonky because I tend to improvise, but here are some recipes from the experts:
