Ingredients
>
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
>
1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
>
4 (4 - 6 oz) ahi tuna filets
>
1/3 cup black sesame seeds
>
2 tbsp canola oil
Steps
1
Preheat oven to 400°F, and prepare a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix hoisin sauce with the ginger. On a plate, pat tuna filets dry with a paper towel and brush with the hoisin mixture. Pour sesame seeds onto a separate plate, then press all sides of the tuna filets into the sesame seeds, until coated.

Add canola oil to the pan, and sear the tuna filets for about 1 min., then flip and place pan in the oven. For rare tuna, cook for an additional 2–3 min.; for well done, cook 4–5 min. Remove from oven, slice, and serve.
