Ingredients:

Serving

8 to 9 oz. fresh tuna fillet
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
3/4 cup finely diced fresh pineapple
4 scallions, thinly sliced
2-1/2 tbsp. fresh lime juice
1-1/2 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. minced fresh ginger
1 small ripe avocado finely diced
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
3-1/2- oz. package plain rice crackers
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Cut the tuna into long, fat, squared-off strips or logs 1 to 1-1/2 inches thick. Coat the tuna with the oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Set a 10-inch heavy-duty skillet over high heat. When the pan is very hot, after 2 to 3 minutes, sear the tuna logs for 20 to 30 seconds on each side-they should be seared outside and rare inside. Transfer to a clean cutting board and slice 1/4 inch thick.
In a -medium bowl, combine the pineapple, scallions, lime juice, soy sauce, and ginger. Add the avocado and gently stir to combine. Stir in the chopped cilantro.
To assemble, set the tuna slices on rice crackers; top each with a small spoonful of the salsa and a whole cilantro leaf. You may have extra crackers and salsa.
