Crusted Tuna with Soy Ginger Sauce

We found some fresh tuna and made this dish. YUM We loved the sauce and Dad cooked the tuna perfectly. This is really fast to make and you will love it.

4 T. Toasted Sesame Seeds
4 Tuna steaks

Olive oil

Sauce:
2 T fresh ginger, minced
2 T unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup dry white wine (I didn't have so I used a little rice vinegar and water)
1/4 cup soy suace
1 T chile garlic sauce
1 T molasses (didn't have so I increased the brown sugar)
1 T brown sugar
1/2 t. dry mustard

Finish with:
1/3 cup scallions, thinly sliced
1 T fresh lime juice (I only had lemon)

Preheat grill to medium high. Brush both sides of tuna with olive oil, then press seeds into tuna. Grill fish 2 minutes on each side, remove and let rest 5 minutes. You may need to adjust cooking time based on thickness.

Saute ginger for the sauce in butter in a small skillet over medium heat until soft, 1 minute. Deglaze with wine, simmer until reduced by half, then stir in soy sauce, chile garlic sauce, molasses, sugar and dry mustard. Simmer 2 - 3 minutes.

Drizzle sauce over tuna, then finish with scallions and lime juice.
