I thought this was an easy to prepare tuna and it tasted good. I agree with br2brown that if you use regular soy sauce, omit the 1/2 tsp of salt, as I too found it a bit too salty. This would make a good mid-week meal when you want something fast, with ingredients many people typically have on hand.

This was very good!Thank you SolightlyUK. Made the sauce as instructed and set it aside at room temp. Brushed tuna with sesame oil, coated one side with sesame seeds and seared over high heat for 1 minute (rare). Flipped and removed to platter. Plated over mixed greens with raspberry vinaigrette,couscous (made with chicken stock, grated zucchini and red pepper) and drizzled sauce over and around. Delish!! Thank you
