Tuna with Avocado, Soy, Ginger, and Lime

2 big handfuls fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1/2 jalapeno, sliced
1 t. grated fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
2 limes, juiced
2 T. soy sauce or coconut aminos
pinch sugar
sea salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup EVOO
2 (6 ounce) tuna steaks
1 ripe avocado, halved, peeled, and sliced

In a mixing bowl, combine the cilantro, jalapeno, ginger, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, salt, pepper, and 2 T. of olive oil. Stir the ingredients together until well incorporated.

Place a skillet over medium high heat and coat with the remaining 2 T. of olive oil. Season the tuna generously with salt and pepper. Lay the tuna in the hot oil and sear for 1 minute on each side to form a slight crust. Pour 1/2 of the cilantro mixture in the pan to coat the fish. Serve the tuna with the avocado and the remaining sauce drizzled over the whole plate.
