Honey Glazed Sesame Tuna

Honey and sesame seeds are a classic Chinese flabor combination, one that suits the rich taste of fresh tuna just perfectly. This dish is terrific with fresh steamed broccoli or sauted spinach.

1. In a small bowl whisk together first five (or six) ingredients and set aside. Crush sesame seed with a motar and pestle, then spread evenly in a pie plate. Coat the tuna steaks with the crushed seeds. In a large non stick skillet, heat oil over med high heat, and cook tuna steaks 3-4 minutes per side (I would go with 3 mins or they over cook), until golden and just cooked through.
