O.M.G. this is by far the best thing i've ever cooked!!! i went to costco with my friend emily one day and found this beautiful piece of wild ahi tuna and just HAD to have it! (tuna is kevin's favorite... i was trying to be a good wifey!) so here's the recipe!

Sesame Seared Ahi Tuna (685 calories total or 342.5 calories per serving)

2 6-ounce ahi tuna steaks (180 calories each)
1/2 cup soy sauce (40 calories)

salt and black pepper to taste (0)
1/4 cup sesame seeds (210 calories)
2 tablespoons olive oil (240 calories)

- combine soy sauce, wasabi paste, salt and pepper
- marinate the tuna steaks in the wasabi soy sauce mixture for at least 30 minutes
- coat top and bottom of tuna steaks with sesame seeds
- heat olive oil in a large skillet
- sear tuna about 1-2 minutes per side (i like mine a little more medium than rare)
- let steaks rest 5 minutes before slicing

serve with soy sauce and/or wasabi paste.
i also made a mixed greens salad with toasted sesame dressing and curried ginger rice
