I have some bluefin I was going to sear on the stove tonight and was looking for some simple recipes. Everything I have found so far has been either raw or overly complicated. Any recommendations?

any recipes with soy sauce and ginger?

In a really hot skillet, just sear it on both sides. Take out and coat with sesame seeds. Serve with a sauce of about 1/2 soy sauce and half fresh lemon juice. If you like you can serve pickled ginger on the side.

that sounds really good, do you sear the fish in olive oil or do you need to coat the fish in oil?

Marinate steaks in Beer and Italian dressing. Cook It UP.

Enjoy.

Kippy,

This one is really easy. Rub the steaks with a little oil and then just cover them in sesame seeds (I use brown and black). Sometimes I'll also use a little ginger powder with it.

I get a nonstick pan very hot with grapeseed or sesame oil and cook it for about 1-2min per side.

Make wasabi mashed potatoes to go with it. Serve it with some soy sauce wasabi and ginger (sushi style) and you are set. If you want to get more complicated, go to Epicurious.com and look up Soy glaze and you should find a ton of recipies to make a thick sauce. Also if you have a super 88 around, get eel sauce, that tastes great as well.

The most important thing to remember is that as soon as it is ready make sure I am there to taste...!

excellent recipe Steve, can't wait to try it out.

Also, keep some foil around to cover the pan, sometimes you'll get some flying superheated sesame seeds shooting out of the pan and you're stove will be a mess.

That's why I add the Tosted sesame seed after the fish is seared. I forget to say toasted in my earlier reply. And yes Kippy, you can just put a little extra virgin in the pan. I wouldn't cook it as long as 2 minutes a side. It's supposed to be really really rare on thei nside, almost totally raw. You can buy toasted sesame seeds at most asian markets.

Mikes right about the 2m... Some people like it cooked more. I'm fine with just showing it what the pan looks like for long enough to brown on each side. cool raw center is the way to go!

Great tips guys. thanks

Good post, I just took a hunk out of the freezer.

Well I cooked up the bluefin last night and combined a few recipies. First I created a sauce with soy, rice wine vinegar, honey, and sesame oil. Then I coated the fish with sesame oil and sesame seeds, seared it (with the cover on)..and poured the sauce over the fish and rice..very delicious. thanks for the tips! Hope to get some more next year as well..it's addicting!

Make the famous Hawaiian dish call the Pokey. Hm.....

Its easy.. here is the recipe...

Cut up 1/2 lb of tuna into 1/2inch cubes. Slice up one bunch of scallions (small 1/4 inch pieces), slice up 1 small onion into 1/4 inch pieces.. Mixed them all in a bowl. Add 1 tsp of soy sauce, add 1 tsp of Sesime oil, add some black peppers. Mix it all together and enjoy your Hawaiian delite....
