Ingredients

2 - yellowfin tuna steaks
2 tablespoons - coconut aminos
1 tbsp - honey
1 tsp - fresh ginger
1 clove - garlic
1 tbsp - olive oil
sesame seeds
green onions

Instructions

First, in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, mix together the coconut aminos, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the marinade.
Place the yellowfin tuna steaks in the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Marinate for 20 to 30 minutes. For a quicker option, even a 5 minute marinade adds flavor.
While the tuna is marinating, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat.
Once the skillet is hot, remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, letting any excess drip off.
Place the yellowfin tuna steaks in the hot skillet. Sear for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until they develop a nice crust. The center should be pink and slightly rare for the best taste and texture.
While the tuna is searing, pour the leftover marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil for 1 to 2 minutes to create a glaze.
Once the tuna is seared, remove it from the skillet. Let it rest for 1 minute. Then, pour over the glaze and sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top!
