A gorgeous tuna steak, smothered in soy and sesame seeds, then served on a bed of hot spring salad.
I've made this for both small and large groups, plated along side other nibbles and it works wonderfully each time. It's ideal for lunchtimes when you want something a little different, but don't have much time to spare. —Hannah Holt
