Keto Sesame Crusted Tuna w Spicy Mayo
This healthy lunch component is great for eating as is, slicing over a salad, or pairing with a ready-to-eat keto side! A spoonful of spicy mayo adds extra fat to the sesame seeds, which are a surprising keto ingredient.

Ingredients
Tuna, Raw
9 ounce
Salt
⅛ teaspoon
Ginger, Ground
⅛ teaspoon
Sesame Seeds
2 tablespoon, whole pieces
Olive Oil
2 teaspoon
Soy Sauce
2 teaspoon
Mayonnaise, Store Bought
3 tablespoon
Sauce Sriracha Or Hot Chile
1 tsp
Recipe Steps
steps 6
15 min
Step 1
Lay the tuna steaks flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle the salt and ginger only on the exposed sides.Step 2
Sprinkle the sesame seeds onto a plate. Place the tuna steaks in the seeds and gently rotate them until they are covered in sesame seeds on all sides.Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Place the steaks in the oil and put a lid over the pan. Cook the tuna steaks for about 5 minutes per side. You can also use a pair of tongs to rotate and cook the sides of the crusted tuna. If you want a more rare tuna steak, you can cook them for less time, but you will need to turn your heat higher. All seeds should be golden or darker.Step 4
When you flip the tuna steaks halfway through cooking, splash the soy sauce into the pan and place a lid over once more to steam the steaks.Step 5
While your tuna steaks are cooking, whisk or stir together the mayo and sriracha. If you do not have sriracha, you can use a sugar-free chili sauce/paste or a vinegar-based hot sauce.Step 6
Serve the tuna steaks with a fair portion of the spicy mayo. You can simply dollop the mayo onto the tuna. This recipe used a pastry bag to pipe the mayo onto the plate and garnished with chopped nori roasted seaweed.

I made fish tacos out of this by adding the Mayo to some coleslaw. Tasty!
