Ingredients:

• Sea salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• Sesame seeds
• 7 ounces fresh Bluefin Tuna fillet
• 2 ounces baby arugula
• 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1 avocado, thinly sliced
• Matsuhisa-inspired Dressing:
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1 garlic clove, minced

Steps:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, and sesame oil to make the dressing.
2. Season the Bluefin Tuna fillet with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper and roll in sesame seeds until coated.

4. Arrange the baby arugula, thinly sliced cucumber, and avocado slices on a serving platter.
5. Thinly slice the grilled Bluefin Tuna and arrange it on top of the salad.
6. Drizzle the Matsuhisa-inspired dressing over the salad and serve immediately.
