Seared tuna (tataki)

Tastes nice but was very badly played.

Partially defrost a frozen block of tuna then sear brown both sides (center will still be raw) a minute or so in a pan with very hot neutral tasting oil.

Top with grated young ginger, spring onions, lemon zest and toasted sesame seeds, and drizzle a bit of soya sauce. Drizzle smoking hot oil over it.

I put on the toppings before I realized I forgot to slice it so I had to scrape it off (removing my intention of a layered effect)  Then my slicing should have used a much sharper knife as I tore some of the cooked fish fibre. Basically the whole thing looked fairly unappetizing. But it actually wasn't bad in taste.
