Tuna Tataki Over Salad Greens

(Serves 2)

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon orange juice
• ½ tablespoon lemon juice
• ½ teaspoon mirin (sake, dry sherry or rice vinegar can be substituted) 
• ¼ teaspoon freshly grated ginger
• 1 ½ tablespoon oil (for frying, with high smoke point)
• ½ lb yellow fin tuna sushi grade
• Salad makings of your choosing

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, mix together the orange juice, lemon juice, soy sauce, mirin and ginger. Set aside.
2. If your piece of tuna is on the wider side, cut it into two similar-sized pieces, both squared or rectangular ends and even width.
3. Warm the oil in a skillet big enough for the piece of tuna over a medium-high heat until it starts to smoke slightly.
4. Add the tuna to the pan and cook for no more than around 30-45 seconds each side to sear it. Remove from the pan and set aside for a couple minutes.
5. Using a very sharp knife, cut the tuna thinly across the grain. Arrange the slices over your salad greens in a large bowl or platter to serve. Drizzle with sauce and enjoy.
