Recipe: Seared Sesame Ahi Tuna Steak

This is one of the more delicious recipes I’ve made using fish. I bought sushi-grade ahi tuna steaks at the market, made a super simple sesame oil marinade, and seared them on a cast iron skillet. This is a great recipe for people who don’t like to spend a whole lot of time cooking. This ahi tuna steak recipe requires just a few ingredients, is low-carb, low-fat, low-calorie, and really high in protein. 6oz of ahi tuna is less than 200 calories.
