Sesame-Crusted Tuna:
- 2 frozen ahi steaks (I used the ones from Trader Joe’s)
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (not toasted)
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- salt - optional
Heat coconut oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Once oil is melted and hot, add fish. Cook on each side for 1-2 minutes depending on desired done-ness. Be careful not to burn sesame seeds---turn often and reduce heat if necessary.
Remove from pan and place on a cutting board to rest for a few minutes while assembling the slaw.

Dressing:
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- ½ tsp honey
- 1 tbsp water
- ¼ tsp salt or soy sauce

This looks yummy. Can't wait until they open a Trader Joe's here in Austin--until then, there's Whole Foods! This meal is restaurant-worthy.
