Pan-seared Tuna with Avocado, Lime, Soy and Ginger

Ingredients

2 big handfuls fresh cilantro, finely chopped
½ jalapeno, sliced
1 t. grated fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, grated
2 limes, juiced
2 T. soy sauce
pinch sugar
salt and pepper
¼ cup EVOO
1 6 ounce block sushi-quality tuna
1 ripe avocado, sliced

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine cilantro, jalapeno, ginger, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir together until well incorporated.
Place a skillet over medium-high heat and coat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season the tuna generously with salt and pepper. Lay tuna in the hot oil and sear for 1 minute on each side to form a slight crust.
Pour ½ of the cilantro mixture into the pan to coat the fish. Serve the seared tuna with the sliced avocado and the remaining cilantro sauce drizzled over the whole plate.
