Steps:

• PREPARE PONZU:.
• Place all the ingredients (through 1 1/2 chipotle chiles) in a blender, and process until smooth.
• PREPARE SALSA:.
• Gently combine diced cucumber, tomato, avocado, and cilantro in a small bowl.
• PREPARE FISH:.
• Sprinkle fish with salt.
• Heat a large nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Coat pan with cooking spray.
• Add fish; cook 3 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness.

SEARED TUNA STEAK WITH AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• Vinaigrette:.
• Combine red pepper, serrano pepper, red onion, vinegar, olive oil, chili sauce and kosher salt to make the vinaigrette.
• Mix well and set aside.
• Fish:.
• Season tuna with salt and pepper.
• Sear tuna on a very hot skillet with olive oil.
• Cook to desired doneness (rare if preferable).
• Prepare the salsa while the fish is cooking.
• Salsa:.
• Dice the avocado into 1" cubes.
• Dice the tomatoes.
• Mix the tomato and avocado together.
• Serving Recommendation.
• Place fish on serving dish.
• Top with diced avocado and tomato.
• Splash liberally with vinaigrette.
• Garnish with cilantro.
• Serve immediately.
• Changes:.
• Again, I like to add a little soy sauce to the vinaigrette to give the flavors a little more punch, I only use 2 tablespoons olive oil in the vinaigrette to make it more bulky, and I like to garnish the fish with chopped cilantro instead of sprigs.
