Ingredients

1 tablespoon unseasoned rice-wine vinegar 

Pinch of sugar 

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 

Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper 

1 pound sushi-grade tuna, very finely chopped 

2 scallions, white and light green parts only, trimmed and minced 

1 tablespoon soy sauce 

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil 

1 teaspoon lemon zest 

Canola oil, for cooking 

1/2 bunch arugula 

Wasabi Mayonnaise

Preparation

Place vinegar and sugar in small bowl. Slowly whisk in 2 tablespoons olive oil to form an emulsion; season with salt and pepper; set aside.

Place tuna, scallions, soy, 2 tablespoons olive oil, sesame oil, and lemon zest in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Mix well, using your hands, to combine. Divide tuna mixture into six equal portions and form each portion into a 1/2-inch thick patty.

Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add enough canola oil to coat bottom of skillet. Add patties, and cook until medium-rare, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Place arugula in a large bowl, drizzle with reserved dressing, and toss to combine. Divide arugula evenly between 6 plates. Place one patty on each bed of arugula; serve immediately with wasabi mayonnaise.
