      Seared Tuna Tacos with Fermented Seaweed Salad

      Seared Tuna Tacos with Fermented Seaweed Salad

      New England Food Blogger and Registered Dietician, Jenny Shea Rawn, suggests making these beautiful tacos using our fermented seaweed salad: "The majority of seaweed on the market (98%!) is grown in Asia. Most of that is dried and dyed. We love seaweed salad, so when we heard about this  [Atlantic Sea Farms] version that is cultivated and harvested close to home, we had to try it. And gosh. It is just so. much. better. It’s clean tasting, healthy, and rich in probiotics, antioxidants and other essential nutrients with no coloring/dyes added." 

      Check out the recipe below and her fantastic food blog here.

      • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

      For assembly

      • 12 small flour tortillas street taco size, warmed
      • 1/4 cup wasabi mayo we used Kikkoman brand, but Trader Joes has one too

      Instructions

      For the tuna

      • Combine tuna, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, sriracha, fresh ginger paste and garlic powder in a resealable bag. Marinate tuna for 20-30 minutes.
      • Preheat grill to high heat. Clean and oil the grates.
      • Remove tuna from marinade. Discard marinade. Reduce grill heat to medium high. Place tuna on the grill and grill until desired doneness (we cooked ours for 2-3 minutes per side). Remove from grill. Slice tuna thinly against the grain.

      To assemble the tacos

      • Add a smear of wasabi mayo to each flour tortilla, followed by red cabbage, tuna, seaweed salad and scallions. Sprinkle black sesame seeds overtop tacos.
      • Serve tacos with pickled ginger and lime wedges.
