WASABI DREAM SAUCE:

• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
• 1 tbsp prepared wasabi (from tube)
• 2 tbsp water

TUNA FILLETS:

• 2 lbs. sushi-grade tuna fillet (vein removed)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
• 2/3 cup ground pistachio nuts (roasted, salted)
• ½ cup black sesame seeds
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Make Wasabi Dream Sauce by blending mayonnaise, maple syrup, wasabi paste and water; set aside. Lightly coat tuna with olive oil and rub it into the flesh. Then season all sides with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle generously with ground pistachio nuts and black sesame; pat down to adhere and set aside. In a large sauté pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil on high. Once olive oil is very hot, sear tuna (1-2 minutes on each side), then transfer to a cutting board. Slice into ¼” to ½” slices and arrange onto plate. Drizzle with Wasabi Dream Sauce and serve.
