  • Remove Tuna from the marinade, wipe off excess. On a sheet tray, spread out sesame crust.
  • Coat a large sauté pan with oil and bring to high heat. Add Tuna to pan and cook 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from pan and immediately roll Tuna in sesame mixture. Allow to cool and slice in ½” slices. Reserve.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine mixed greens, carrots, and half of the mango, avocado and red onion. Toss with prepared orange ponzu dressing, reserving 1 TB of dressing.
  • Plate salad off-set on a large plate, carefully retaining some height. Garnish salad with remaining ingredients.
  • Fan out Tuna against salad, finish by drizzling the remaining dressing around the plate and sprinkling with sesame seeds. Nestle pickled ginger against Tuna if using.
