Preparation Instructions

Marinate the Tuna:

  • In a small bowl, mix Merman’s Revenge® Teriyaki Glaze and lime juice.

  • Season the tuna steaks lightly with salt and pepper, then coat them in the glaze mix. Let the tuna marinate for 10-15 minutes while preparing the salad.

Sear the Tuna:

  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a little olive oil.

  • Remove the tuna from the marinade, pat it dry, and sprinkle sesame seeds on both sides.

  • Sear the tuna for about 1-2 minutes on each side. The inside should remain rare for the best texture. Once seared, remove from the pan and let it rest for a minute. Slice the tuna into thin pieces.

Prepare the Salad:

  • In a large bowl or on individual plates, arrange the mixed greens.

  • Add avocado slices, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, edamame, and radishes (if using) to the salad.

Assemble the Salad:

  • Drizzle the Merman’s Revenge® Teriyaki Glaze over the salad.

  • Top with the sliced seared ahi tuna.

  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Optional Toppings:

  • Toasted sesame seeds

  • Chopped green onions

  • Pickled ginger

  • Seaweed strips (nori)
