Seared Tuna with Scallion-Ginger Relish


Ingredients
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions
1/2 cup drained, canned water chestnuts, diced
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
1 8-ounce tuna steak, about 1-inch thick
1/2 teaspoon canola oil
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 cups watercress, washed and trimmed (about 1 bunch)

Preparation
1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

2. Combine orange juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, hot sauce and
    1/8 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Transfer half the dressing to a small
    bowl; add scallions, water chestnuts and sesame seeds, and toss.

3. Rub tuna with canola oil and sprinkle with salt and the remaining 1/8
    teaspoon pepper. Grill until the fish is opaque, 4 to 5 minutes per side.

    plates and top with the tuna and scallion-ginger relish.
