Seared Ahi

I was passing by the fish section of the store when I saw it! Beautiful glistening pieces of ahi. I’ve been craving ahi for weeks now and didn’t feel like eating it the regular sashimi style. This is a simple recipe which looks very fancy. It has wowed many of my friends and family.

Ingredients:
Slab of Ahi – sashimi grade
Cajun Spice (Tony’s Creole Seasoning or furikake)
Olive oil or vegtable oil for frying

Sauce:
Shoyu
Wasabi

Directions:

cut the ahi into square strips

roll in cajun spice or Toney’s Creole Seasoning

Lightly oil the pan, heat it up on high heat and put the ahi in.
Roll the ahi until it is cooked on the outside

*note make sure your stove fan is working ahead of time, this does get smoky

The ahi will be seared on the outside and raw on the inside. Slice thinly and serve on a bed of cabbage.

I arranged it and made it fancy.

Serve immediately. I do not recommend reheating these in the microwave, it will cook the fish.
For added flavor lightly sprinkle extra cajun seasoning on the top.

Special thanks to my mom and friend Kenji for sharing this recipe with me. ^^
