Sesame tuna is my favorite but I've never made it before this. This was easy and excellent. Just like my favorite restaurant. The only change was less sesame oil (I just rubbed a little on the fish). I used a combination of white and black sesame seeds and didn't toast them. And, I omitted the Kosher salt. (I didn't see a reason for more salt).
