Pan-Seared Tuna with Avocado, Soy, Ginger, and Lime


Ingredients
    •    2 big handfuls fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
    •    1/2 jalapeno, sliced
    •    1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
    •    1 garlic clove, grated
    •    2 limes, juiced
    •    2 tablespoons soy sauce
    •    Pinch sugar
    •    Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
    •    1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
    •    1 (6-ounce) block sushi-quality tuna
    •    1 ripe avocado, halved, peeled, pitted, and sliced

Directions
In a mixing bowl, combine the cilantro, jalapeno, ginger, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir the ingredients together until well incorporated.
Place a skillet over medium-high heat and coat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season the tuna generously with salt and pepper. Lay the tuna in the hot oil and sear for 1 minute on each side to form a slight crust. Pour 1/2 of the cilantro mixture into the pan to coat the fish. Serve the seared tuna with the sliced avocado and the remaining cilantro sauce drizzled over the whole plate.
