- 2 1/4 tsp. fresh lime juice
- 1 jalapeño chili, finely minced
- 1 1/2 Tbs. Asian sesame oil

Instructions
- <h3><b>Step 1. Toast the Sesame Seeds</b></h3> In a small, dry fry pan over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds, stirring often, until fragrant and beginning to brown, 2 to 5 minutes. Pour onto a small plate to cool. &nbsp; <h3><b>Step 2. Dice the Tuna</b></h3> Using a very sharp knife, trim away any sinew or skin from the tuna fillet. Cut the tuna into 1/4-inch cubes and place in a bowl. Add the ginger, soy sauce, lime juice, jalape&#241;o and sesame oil and stir gently to combine. &nbsp; <h3><b>Step 3. Serve</b></h3> To serve, divide the tuna among individual bowls or plates and sprinkle the sesame seeds on top, dividing evenly. Top with the chives and serve. Serves 4.
