Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

In a shallow bowl, combine ginger, sesame seeds, and ground black pepper. Season the tuna with salt.

Make 1-cm-deep slits in the tuna every 0.5-1 cm to make it easier to cut after cooking. Roll the tuna in the ginger mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres to the fish.
Place a frying pan over high heat. Add oil and sear the tuna on all sides, about 30 seconds per side. Remove the fish from the pan. Deglaze the pan with lime juice. Pour this juice over the tuna.

In a bowl, combine the herbs, red onion, and tomato. Toss with a little ginger sauce. Slice the fish along the score lines. Arrange some salad and avocado on 4 plates. Top with sliced tuna and drizzle with ginger sauce.

Ginger sauce

In a small bowl, combine the shallot, ginger, a few grinds of pepper, soy sauce, and lime juice. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Whisk thoroughly before serving.
