Ahi Tuna With Ponzu Sauce Recipes

AHI POKE BOWL

Steps:

• Add mayonnaise, sriracha and lemon juice to a small mixing bowl. Mix to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
• In a bowl, add the soy sauce, orange juice, lime juice and mirin. Whisk well to combine.
• Place the tuna in a medium mixing bowl with the green onions (reserve a little bit of the green onions to sprinkle on top of the bowls at the end).
• Add some of the ponzu to your taste. You can reserve some to pour over the rest of the ingredients. Add sesame seeds. Mix gently to combine. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour. If you let the fish sit for longer time, the citrus in the ponzu will slowly cook the fish.
• Pile it up! Put rice into serving bowls and top with your desired toppings. Add extra ponzu if desired and drizzle a bit of toasted sesame oil (optional). Add the chilled tuna. Top with macadamia nuts (optional), and drizzle with the creamy Sriracha sauce.

SESAME-CRUSTED AHI WITH PONZU VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Combine the sesame seeds in a shallow bowl. Lightly rub the tuna in the olive oil, then sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Press the tuna into the sesame seeds, applying firm pressure so the seeds stick. Cover completely and chill in the refrigerator, uncovered, for 5 minutes, to allow the seeds to stick.
• For the vinaigrette: In a medium bowl, whisk together the grated ginger, ponzu, soy, vinegar, sesame oil and Fresno. Pour into a serving bowl and set aside.
• In a large nonstick pan, heat 1/2 inch canola oil to 320 degrees F.
• Add the shallots to the oil in small batches and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and drain. Season with salt.
• Add 1/4 cup olive oil to another large, nonstick pan and turn the heat on high until hot. Add the sesame-crusted tuna and sear all over for 30 seconds on each side. Remove from the pan and slice 1/2-inch thick.
• Shingle the tuna on a platter, then sprinkle over the fried shallots and sliced scallions. Serve with the vinaigrette alongside.
