a new camera and tuna salad

So, remember how I told you that I got a new camera? Well, I'm still loving it. While I made dinner, David snapped some shots of my labors. I made Wasabi Seared Tuna Salad. It was delicious (until I found out how much sodium pickled ginger has in it - disgusting!).

In case you're interested, here's the recipe:

WASABI SEARED TUNA SALAD (serves 2):
8 ounces fresh sushi grade tuna steaks

1 Tablespoon wasabi powder

2 Tablespoons olive oil, divided

1 Tablespoon soy sauce, divided

1 avocado, sliced

1/2 cup shredded daikon radish

2 cups salad greens

1 Tablespoon rice wine vinegar

Pickled ginger, for garnish

Mix wasabi powder with just enough soy sauce to make a thick paste. Rub wasabi paste onto both sides of tuna steaks.

Heat 1 Tablespoon of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear tuna for about 30-45 seconds on each side, just enough to get a crust (I did it a little longer). Slice the tuna thinly and set aside.

Arrange salad greens on a plate, and top with tuna, avocado, radish and ginger. Mix remaining soy sauce, oil, vinegar and a little of the juice from the ginger (if you have some), drizzle onto salad and salt and pepper to taste.

Apparently, this salad goes great with Miso soup or a little sticky rice but we just had it alone. It is very filling!
