How to Make a Yellowfin Tuna Sushi Salad Bowl
This delicious and fresh Yellowfin tuna sushi salad bowl features perfectly seasoned and pan-seared tuna steaks, hearty arugula, edamame, and pickled ginger with a zesty wasabi dressing.
1. Thaw Tuna Steaks
Start by thawing the desired number of tuna steaks. To thaw in the refrigerator, cover and let thaw overnight. For faster thawing, place tuna steaks in a sealable plastic bag and remove as much air from the bag as possible, then immerse in cold water for 30 minutes.
2. Marinate the Tuna Steaks
Place thawed tuna steaks in resealable container or plastic bag. Combine the ingredients for the sweet and spicy marinade and pour over the tuna steaks, ensuring they are completely covered. Seal container or bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the tuna steak.
3. Pan-Sear Tuna
After a quick marinade, pan-sear the tuna steaks in a hot skillet for 30 seconds to 2 minutes per side, depending on your desired doneness.
4. Assemble Sushi Salad Bowl
Serve flaked or thinly sliced tuna over an arugula and iceberg lettuce salad with our tangy wasabi dressing, pickled carrots, cucumber, edamame, pickled ginger, and radishes.
Enjoy!
