Instructions:
For The Tuna:
- Sprinkle tuna with sea salt on all sides.
- Mix your sesame seeds in a bowl (I eyeballed it knowing I wanted more black than light seeds, so measurements are dependent on your taste).
- Take your tuna and press all sides into the sesame seed mixture until it's completely covered.
- In a non stick pan, heat your sesame seed oil until just smoking. Place your tuna in the pan and sear for 1 minute on each side.
- Cut into thin slices and serve!
For The Eggs:
- Add the vinegar and salt to a medium pot of cold water and bring to a boil
- Add your eggs and cook for 6-7 minutes (depending on how runny you want your yolk)
- Prep your ice bath while the eggs are cooking
- Remove your eggs from the pot and place in an ice bath for 5 minutes
- Peel eggs and set aside
For Serving:
- Whisk all ingredients together except for the salt, pepper, and red pepper
- Season with the salt, pepper, and red pepper to your taste
- Top Spinach with sliced tuna, sliced avocado, and eggs.
- Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with sesame seeds
