2 (6-ounce) Yellowfin tuna steaks (about 1 inch thick)

1/4 teaspoon salt $

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

4 cups thinly sliced napa (Chinese) cabbage 



 

1 cup thinly sliced cucumber

1/2 cup matchstick-cut carrots $

1/3 cup presliced red onion $

1 navel orange, sectioned and chopped $

1 tablespoon sugar $

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro $

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice $

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1/2 teaspoon dark sesame oil

1/4 teaspoon sambal oelek (ground fresh chile paste) or Sriracha (hot chile sauce, such as Huy Fong) 

Preparation

1. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle fish evenly with salt and pepper. Add fish to pan; cook 2 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Transfer to a cutting board.

2. Combine cabbage and next 4 ingredients (through orange) in a large bowl. Combine sugar and remaining ingredients in a small bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Reserve 1 tablespoon dressing. Drizzle remaining dressing over salad; toss gently to coat. Divide salad mixture evenly between 2 plates. Cut each tuna steak across the grain into 1/4-inch slices; arrange over salad mixture. Drizzle 1 1/2 teaspoons reserved dressing over each serving.

For dessert: Spoon 1/2 cup coconut sorbet into each of 2 dessert bowls; top each serving with 2 tablespoons diced peeled mango and 1 tablespoon toasted flaked sweetened coconut.
