Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray
- ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- ½ pound sushi-grade tuna (1¼ inches thick)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- Soy sauce and dark sesame oil for drizzling
Preparation
- Line the Baking Pan with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Toss the panko with 1 tablespoon of oil and spread evenly onto the prepared baking pan.
- Place in oven in the upper rack position. Set to AirFry at 350°F for about 5 minutes. Remove from oven and toss together, reserve.
- Discard the foil and place the Grill/Griddle Plate onto the Baking Pan, Griddle side up and return to the oven in the lower rack position. Set to Grill at 450°F and allow to preheat for at least 10 minutes.
- While preheating, season the tuna with the salt evenly on both sides and lightly coat both sides with the sesame seeds.
- Once preheated, place the tuna onto the griddle. Cook until medium rare, for about 3 minutes per side.
- Remove from oven and cut into ¼-inch slices across the grain of the fish. Serve drizzled with some soy sauce and sesame oil if desired and sprinkled liberally with the reserved panko crunchies.
