Instructions
Place the furikake: sesame seed oil, honey, brown sugar, and coconut aminos and place in a medium bowl. Whisk them together to form your marinade. Meanwhile, take your ahi tuna and pat it down with a paper towel to get rid of the extra liquid.
Using either an: airtight container or a sealable plastic bag, place the ahi tuna inside. Pour the marinade in there and shake it up to make sure everything gets covered. Place in the fridge. Allow the marinade to sit for at least one hour, you can go overnight as well.
In a large skillet: When you are ready to fry up your fish, take 2 tablespoons of oil (I used olive but you can use canola or any oil you wish) and let it heat up for 2 minutes. Place the tuna in the hot pan and let it fry. Depending on how you want to cook your ahi tuna, will determine how long you fry it on each side. For medium you want 1.5-3 minutes per side depending on the thickness of your filet. Rare would be 1-1.5 minutes per side. Well done would be 4-5 minutes per side.
Once the tuna is seared: Take the gorgeous ahi tuna steaks and place on a cutting board. Allow them to sit for 3-5 minutes before slicing into the seared ahi tuna. When finished, you can top with more furikake, sesame seeds, or fresh herbs (I personally like chives).
