This sesame-crusted and seared ahi tuna recipe features a soy and miso marinade that infuses the fish with deep umami flavors, in as little as 10 minutes! Add slices of seared yellowfin tuna on top of salads or with your favorite sides as an easy yet elegant main dish protein any night of the week.
Although I mainly serve comfort food at home every now and again, I like to make something simple but slightly more sophisticated.
While sushi-grade yellowfin tuna might not be the least expensive main protein available, it is certainly worth every penny, in my opinion. It’s light yet meaty with just the right touch of sweetness. Plus, it is super easy to work with in the kitchen. And since Seared Ahi Tuna is synonymous with high-end dining, it always impresses my family and friends when I serve it at home!
In fact, this restaurant-quality seared yellowfin tuna recipe is so unbelievably effortless to make and delicious, I use it again and again whenever I need an elegant dish in a snap.
