You know when you spend an hour writing a wonderful post to go along with a delicious and awesome recipe and then you accidentally press something and it disappears and to much of your clicking, panicking, and dismay – it just doesn’t come back?
Yeah, that just happened.
Drat. (a nice version of the actual word that escaped my mouth)
I don’t even remember what I wrote because I was totally “in the zone” and I feel like anything I could attempt to replicate just wouldn’t work. So, just take a little time, scroll through the photos of this super yummy sesame chia crusted tuna poke (which I made whilst dreaming of our upcoming Hawaii trip – eek!).
I’m throwin’ in the towel for the night and not writing another word.
- 10oz sushi grade ahi tuna, seasoned lightly with salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- ½ mango, diced
- ½ avocado, diced
- 10 cherry tomatoes, halved
- ¼ cup shredded carrot
- ¼ cup diced red onion
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- 1 wedge lime
- Dressing:
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon agave nectar
- ½ tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- Place the sesame and chia seeds on a plate and spread around. Lay the tuna on the plate and press down to coat, flip, and repeat. This will make a nice little crust.
- Heat a non-stick pan at high heat, once hot, sear the tuna for 30 seconds on each side and remove from heat, then dice the tuna.
- Layer the diced fruit/vegetables on a plate, and top with the diced ahi tuna.
- Whisk the dressing in a bowl, and drizzle over the tuna plate.
- Sprinkle with the cilantro and a dash of sesame seeds.
- Squeeze the juice of a lime wedge and enjoy!
Ok. I lied, I will write a few more words!

Perfect timing, Christal! We just got back from Maui and this recipe will help us get over having to leave the island paradise! Enjoy your trip!
We are doing Maui too! I can’t wait – I’ve only been to Oahu, so very excited to explore a new island, and eat all the tuna I see! Lol!
This looks and sounds fantastic Christal!
Sorry you lost all of the things you had written, that sometimes happens with me too, usually when replying to a friend and have written over a page’s worth, so annoying! x
Ahgk! I know, it was very sad, lol – at the moment, and then I was like ah whatever, it is what it is!! Lol!
