Cover the jar with a tight fitting lid, and shake well.

Remove the lid, and heat the jar in the microwave for 30 – 45 seconds, just to dissolve the honey.

Let cool, and shake well before serving. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator with the lid in place.

For the tuna steaks:

In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, honey and 1/2 tablespoon cooking oil.

Coat the tuna steaks with the soy sauce mixture.

Then press the sesame seeds on both sides of the steaks to coat.

Preheat 1/2 tablespoon cooking oil in a cast iron skillet over medium high heat until very hot. Click for a cast iron skillet.

Place the tuna steaks in the pan, cover with a mesh splatter screen and sear for about 30 seconds on each side. Click for a mesh splatter screen.

On a cutting board slice the tuna into thin slices.

To assemble the salad:

Place the salad greens onto two plates, divided evenly.

Top each with half of the thin sliced tuna steaks.

Generously drizzle each salad with the Asian Ginger Dressing.
