Tuna with Soy-Infused Butter over Ginger Garlic Grits


1 lb Tuna, cut into 1-2-inch cubes
2 Tbsp butter
1/2 tsp coriander powder
1 Tbsp soy sauce
Toasted sesame seeds
1Tbsp fresh cilantro or parsley, minced

Melt the butter over medium heat in a skillet until frothy. Tip the tuna cubes into skillet and arrange in a single layer. Sprinkle with half the coriander powder. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, just until the tuna becomes opaque around the edges. Carefully turn each chunk over. Distribute the soy sauce in-between the tuna chunks and shake the pan to mix things up. Sprinkle tuna with the remaining coriander powder and cook another minute. Remove from heat and place tuna cubes on top of a mound of creamy grits or polenta. Spoon a bit of the sauce around the polenta and sprinkle with sesame seeds and cilantro.

Cook's note: I use Trader Joe's frozen tuna chunks for a fast weeknight preparation of this dish, and I have to say it is really very good!
