This tuna recipe takes on an Asian flair with a coating of sesame seeds and a sauce of wasabi paste, soy sauce and fresh ginger.
It is so easy and you can do it with salmon too.
The Wasabe -Ponzu Sauce can also be used as salad dressing.
I served it on Spring Salad mix with Arugula and it was light, low in calories and high in Protine.
