Ingredients
- 1 lb. very fresh sashimi grade tuna- 1 avocado (diced)- 1/4 cup finely diced red onion- 1/4 cup chopped green onion- 2 poblano peppers- 4 Tbsp olive oil- Juice of 2 limes- zest of 2 limes- 2.5 tsp kosher salt- 1 tsp wasabi powder- 2 tsp soy sauce- 10 dashes Tobasco sauce
Directions
1. Halve poblano peppers lengthwise, removing seeds, and place under a broiler (or on a grill). Cook until skin is charred (about 10 min, but keep a close eye). When cooled, remove skin.

2. Cut your tuna into two 1" thick steaks. (Optional: Cut the blood line (darker area) out of your fish if you prefer a milder flavor.)

3. Brush your tuna with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot grill pan for about 1 min on each side. (Tuna should still be very rare in the center). Set aside to rest while you prepare the rest of the dish.

4. In a small bowl combine olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, kosher salt, wasabi powder, soy sauce and Tabasco to make dressing.

5. In a large bowl combine the tuna, avocado, red onion and green onion. Toss with salad dressing.

6. Serve salad in/on cooked poblanos.
