    This tuna recipe takes on an Asian flair with a coating of sesame seeds and a sauce of wasabi paste, soy sauce and fresh ginger. It is so easy and you can do it with salmon too. The Wasabe -Ponzu Sauce can also be used as salad dressing. I served it on Spring Salad mix with Arugula and it was light, low in calories and high in Protine.

    Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon chopped green onions
    • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
    • 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice $
    • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon brown sugar

    • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
    • 2 teaspoons honey
    • 1 1/4 teaspoons prepared wasabi paste or more
    • 1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger

    • 4 (6-ounce) tuna steaks (about 3/4 inch thick)
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
    • 2 tablespoons black sesame seeds
