Tuna with Wasabi Cream

Source: Cooking Light

2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted
2 teaspoons wasabi powder (dried Japanese horseradish)
2 teaspoons cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 (6-ounce) tuna steaks (about 3/4 inch thick)
1 tablespoon wasabi powder (I had to use more to get enough kick)
1 tablespoon water
1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise (I used regular mayo)
1/4 cup fat-free sour cream (I used light sour cream)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
Cooking spray
2 tablespoons sliced green onions

Combine first 5 ingredients; rub over tuna. Cover and chill 30 minutes. Combine wasabi and water. Let stand 5 minutes. Stir in mayonnaise, sour cream, juice, and soy sauce.

Prepare grill to high heat.

Place steaks on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 5 minutes (we like it pretty rare, so we grilled it for less time) on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Serve with wasabi cream; sprinkle with onions.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 steak, 2 tablespoons wasabi cream, and 1 1/2 teaspoons onions)
