  • 4 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Rapeseed oil
  • 50 g sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Wash the tuna fillets, pat them dry with paper towels and place in a bowl.

  2. 2.

    Trim and wash the spring onions, then slice them diagonally into thin rounds.

  3. 3.

    Peel and finely grate the ginger. Mix it with teriyaki sauce, balsamic vinegar and the sliced spring onions to make a sauce (marinade) and pour over the tuna.

    Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, turning occasionally.

    Remove the fish fillets from the marinades, let them drain and season with salt and pepper as desired.

    Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and fry the fillets for 2 minutes on each side.

    Place sesame seeds on a flat plate. Take the fillets out of the pan, brush both sides with some marinade and press into the sesame seeds.

  8. 8.

    Return the fillets to the pan and brown them for 1-2 minutes on each side. Serve with the remaining marinade.
