Seared Tuna with Avocado
This is my adaptation of a recipe from Tyler Florence of The Food Network. This sauce has an excellent flavor. The addition of the avocado really makes it an interesting entree so don't leave it out.

1 pound fresh Tuna
2 tablespoon olive oil (for searing the tuna)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 clove minced garlic
juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 avocado peeled, pit removed, and sliced
  1. In a small glass bowl, combine the cilantro, red pepper, ginger, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce and 1 tablespoon olive oil. 
  2. Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot add the 2 tablespoons of oil. 
  3. Add the tuna to the hot oil and sear for 1 minute. Turn the fish over and sear the other side for 1 minute.
  4. Remove the tuna from the skillet, slice into servings, pour sauce over tuna, and add the avocado slices just before serving.
