Seared Wasabi-Sesame Tuna with Avocado Cream & Maple Soy Sauce

This dish was by far one of the best that I’ve come across in a long time. Next time I will add a little more spice to it, because I like a lot of spice, but it tasted great just the way it is! I served it with sauteed asparagus and brown rice.
