Go on a catch and cook adventure to catch fresh tuna.

Clean the fish, removing the bloodline and any undesirable bits.

Ensure the fish is sushi grade by freezing it according to FDA guidelines.

Coat the tuna steaks with olive oil and sesame seeds on all sides to help the seeds stick.

Heat the skillet until it's screaming hot for pan-searing.

Sear the tuna steaks for no more than 30 seconds on each side until raw in the middle and crunchy on the outside.

Remove any burnt sesame seeds from the pan before searing the next steak to avoid burnt taste.

Finish the dish with smoked paprika and low-sodium soy sauce before serving.
