We love sushi! It’s so expensive when we go out so I like to make a few dishes here and there to make it more affordable. I came across this recipe and it sounded full of flavor. It didn’t disappoint either!

I got the ahi from HEB when they go on sale for $5 in a package like this –

5. Heat a heavy skillet to high heat. Add in the olive oil and let it start to sizzle. Put in Ahi, turning about every 30 seconds to sear all 4 sides.

6. Slice the Ahi and serve with the aioli.

Tip –
An aioli is a sauce that is based in egg yolks, garlic, olive oil and lemon juice. Using mayonnaise is an easy cheat to replace the egg yolks and olive oil. Aiolis go great with seafood, but can be used in a variety of other meats and vegetables. It adds a nice zip to regular old food.
