Ingredients

(4 servings)

  • 1.8 lb tuna
  • 1/2 cup black and white sesame seeds
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper

FOR THE TERIYAKI SAUCE:

  • 3/4 cup cherries, pitted
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tsp grated ginger

Preparation

For the sauce, put sugar, cherries and ginger in a pan. Once the sugar has dissolved, add soy sauce, allow to boil for 5 minutes, and turn off the heat. Set aside.

Cut the tuna into thick fillets (about 7 oz each). Reserve in the fridge.

Put the sesame seeds in a dish, add lemon zest, and mix.

Season the tuna with salt, pepper and lemon juice.

Run the fillets over the sesame mixture, pressing well on each side.

Heat oil in a pan and sear the fillets on all their sides, 30 seconds per side.

Serve in one piece or sliced and put the sauce in a bowl to add to taste.
