INGREDIENTS

• 2 Tbs. honey
• 8 Tbs. soy sauce
• 1 cup orange juice
• 4 Tbs. saké
• 2 Tbs. fresh grated ginger
• 4 Tbs. olive oil
• 6 tuna filets
• 8 Tbs. sesame seeds

INSTRUCTIONS

To make the orange/soy sauce combine honey, soy sauce, orange juice, saké, ginger and olive oil in a large bowl. Toss gently. Arrange the tuna filets in the marinade and let rest for 30 minutes. In a soup plate, place the sesame seeds. Take a marinated tuna filet, sprinkle salt over it, then dip it in the soup plate to coat it with the sesame seeds on all sides. Repeat the operation with all tuna filets. Store in the fridge. At the last minute, sear the filets in a hot skillet. As soon as the sesame seeds get golden, turn the filets. Remove the filets as soon as they are just seared on the outside but still pinky in the inside. Lower the heat and add the marinade. Bring to a simmer, and let cook until syrupy. Remove from the heat. On each plate, arrange one filet, cut into slices, and spoon some sauce on top.
