  • sliced avocado, optional

  2. Mix the sesame seeds together and pour onto a plate.
  3. Coat the tuna in sesame seeds. Set aside.
  4. Heat a greased pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes. I spray mine with Avocado Oil in my Misto Sprayer.
  5. Place the tuna on the (hot) pan and cook for 2 minutes per side.
  6. Remove from heat. Slice and serve. I serve it over a bed of arugula with sliced avocado.

Notes
Pictured above with grilled asparagus. I make the Ahi using a large grill pan and use half for the asparagus and half for fish.
