Instructions

Marinate the Tuna:
Begin by slicing the tuna fillet into desired portions. In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, and Kikkoman soy sauce. Add the sliced tuna to the marinade, ensuring it’s well coated. Allow it to marinate for about one hour to infuse all the flavors. -
Cook the Tuna:
Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated tuna. Cook for a few minutes on each side until it’s just seared and still tender inside—be careful not to overcook the tuna, as it can become dry. Once cooked, remove the tuna from the pan and set it aside. -
Prepare the Dressing:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, olive oil, and honey until smooth. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. -
Assemble the Salad:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed salad vegetables and chopped tomato. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until all the ingredients are well coated. -
Serve:
To serve, place a generous portion of the dressed salad on a plate and top it with the pan-fried tuna. Enjoy this vibrant and flavorful dish as a delightful meal that’s both refreshing and satisfying!
