Seared tuna can be cooked at home with tuna that is sold in any supermarket. If you're unsure about eating raw fish, this recipe could be for you. Like a nice steak, the tuna is lightly cooked resulting in a delicate melt-in-the-mouth texture. The combination of the dipping sauce and marinade adds huge flavour and umami. It's a good choice for healthy diets and works great as an appetiser when entertaining guests.
