Garam Masala Panko Crusted Albacore Tuna

Ingredients:

  • 1 Sashimi Grade Albacore Tuna Loin

  • 1 cup Flour

  • 1 cup Coconut Milk

  • 1 Lemon wedge (1/8 of a lemon) - juiced

  • 3 cup Panko Crumbs

  • 4 Tbsp Garam Masala

  • Fleur de Sel

  • Black Pepper

Directions:

 Handle the fish very gently as it can easily break apart.

  1. Gently cut the Tuna in half-length wise (so it fits in the pan). Don't push the knife into the fish. The trick is to gently secure the fish with your free hand (so it doesn't move with the knife) and slide your knife back and forth slowly.

  2. Whisk coconut milk and lemon juice together in a bowl.

  3. Mix panko crumbs and Garam Masala together in another bowl.

  4. Put flour into a third bowl.

  5. Season Tuna with fleur de sel and pepper

  6. Dredge in the flour.

  7. Dip into the coconut mixture.

  8. Finely coat the Tuna with panko. Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat.

  9. Sear each side of the Tuna until the panko turns golden brown on all sides.

  10. Place Tuna onto a paper towel and pat away excess oil.

  11. Let it set for a few minutes. Enjoy!
