  • Chop and prep all the fresh produce. Season the tuna steaks liberally on both sides with salt and pepper. Then pour the sesame seeds out onto a plate and press the tuna steaks into the sesame seeds to coat on both sides.
  • Set a 10-12 inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Sear the tuna steaks for 1-2 minutes per side then remove from heat and allow them to rest.
  • In a small bowl combine the mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, lime zest, honey, remaining 2 teaspoons of sesame oil, and garlic powder. Mix well, then taste. Salt and pepper as needed and add additional honey if desired.
  • Set out 4 dinner plates. Pile with Romaine lettuce, diced mango, and diced avocado.
  • Once the tuna steaks have had a few minutes to cool, cut them into ¾ inch cubes. Place a pile of seared ahi tuna cubes on each plate. Sprinkle the top of each salad with scallions and wonton strips.
  • Either drizzle or dollop the lime aïoli over the top. Serve immediately.
