Get: - sushi grade ahi, 1" thick or more
- Can be had from zanatto's counter, strangely shrink-wrapped or
- Cap'n Willis in ENC, or
- Whole food fish counter
- olive oil
- lemon juice, or use sesame oil if doing sesame seared
- spices
Do: - rinse the fish in a trickle of water
- put oil and lemon juice (or sesame oil) on plate, salt and pepper
- lay fish in oil, all sides
- season the fish with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder (not sesame seeds, they burn)
- Grill method:
- Clean the grill
- Brush with olive oil
- Run the grill up to high for 10-15 minutes
- Sear the fish for 90-120 seconds per side. Less time for a thinner cut.
- Pan sear method:
- put olive oil in a skillet over high heat
- when hot, lay fish in pan
- approximately 45 seconds per side for a thin cut.
- remove to cutting board
- slice carefully with very sharp knife, and serve
Notes: - the pepper seemed too fine from the mill, so it was either under-peppered or the pepper should have been more coarse
- i thought it was maybe a little bit under-salted.
- could not taste the sesame at all, although robey said he could. i also noted that the sesame burned when it hit the pan
- i did not love the fish, it seemed a bit gamey. Â If this really really matters, next time try Whole Foods
