Wasabi Yellowfin Tuna

Serves 4

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 1/2 teaspoons wasabi paste
• 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
• 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
• 4 (6 ounce) yellowfin tuna fillets
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Directions

• Mix together the mayonnaise, wasabi paste, five-spice powder, and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce in a small bowl.
• Lay the tuna fillets into a glass baking dish.  Pour the rice vinegar and the other 1 tablespoon of soy sauce over the tuna.  Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over both sides of each piece of fish.  Cover the dish and refrigerate 15 to 30 minutes.
• Prepare a skillet with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat.  Sprinkle the sesame seeds evenly over both sides of the fillets.  Lay the tuna gently into the skillet.  Grill to desired level of doneness, about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare.  Serve immediately with rice and vegetables of choice.
