Dinner Tonight: Seared Sesame Tuna With Chili Mayonnaise Recipe

• 1/2 pound tuna filet
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 cup sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1/2 teaspoon red chili paste
• 2 tablespoons canola oil

1. Defrost the fish, if not using fresh. Then place in a small bowl and pour in the soy sauce. Let it marinate for 20-30 minutes, flipping the filet halfway through.
2. Dry the tuna on a paper towel. Dump the sesame seeds onto a plate and spread them out. Coat each side of the filet with the seeds by laying the tuna on top of them and pressing lightly down. Repeat on the other side.
3. Heat the oil in a skillet over high heat. When it's hot, place the fish in the skillet and cook for a 1-2 minutes per side. I like mine rare, add another minute if you want it cooked all the way through. Turn off the heat and remove the fish.
4. Mix together the mayonnaise and the red chili paste.
5. Slice up the fish-if you like that sort of thing-and drizzle the sauce over top.
