Growing up in a Filipino family, soy sauce was on the table at every family event. But, years ago, when my husband went gluten-free I had to be careful about that condiment. So, when I was offered the opportunity to do a product review and develop a recipe with a gluten-free tamari by San-J, I was excited! And, as an added bonus, this version also had half the sodium. Sweet.


About San-J 
In 1804, San-Jirushi, the founding company of San-J, started a tamari soy sauce and miso company in the Mie Prefecure on the Japanese island of Honshu. Nearly two centuries later, the first tamari brewery was built in Henrico, Virginia as San-J. Eight generations later, a member of the founding family is still continuing the tradition of quality with a range of tamari soy sauces, Asian-inspired cooking sauces, salad dressings, and snack crackers.

Seared Albacore Loins Salad 
with San-J Tamari Dressing 

When I received a delivery of Albacore loins from my local CSF (community-supported fishery) today, I knew that I wanted to use it to highlight the San-J Tamari!


Albacore is a smaller member of the tuna family that has been shown to have low or undetectable mercury levels. They are mostly caught offshore, and unlike most local fishing boats, albacore boats may be at sea for days on end. In those cases, they are flash-frozen to preserve their freshness. Albacore tuna is highly versatile, and when you get sushi-grade tuna, it's perfectly fine to eat it raw.

For this recipe, however, I was inspired to sear the Albacore loins and serve them on top of some hearty baby greens, using a mixture of kale, spinach, arugula and mizuna - a Japanese mustard green.

Ingredients serves 4

  • 12 to 16 ounces sushi-grade Albacore tuna loins
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 1 t toasted sesame oil
  • 6 C mixed baby greens 
Dressing
  • 1/2 C finely chopped organic yellow onion
  • 3 T tamari (I used San-J Tamari Lite 50% Less Sodium Gluten Free Soy Sauce)
  • 3 T rice vinegar
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 2 T toasted sesame oil
  • 1 t yellow mustard
  • 1 t maple syrup
  • 1/2 t ground ginger
  • Also needed: lidded mason jar
Procedure

Dressing
Place all of the ingredient in a mason jar. Tighten the lid and shake to combine. Set aside.

Seared Albacore
Preheat a skillet. Pour in the olive oil and sesame oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Wait till the oil begin to bubble.


Pat the albacore dry and sear the tuna on all sides until the surface is nicely browned. Remove the tuna to a cutting board.

Toss the greens with the dressing and move to individual serving plates.  Slice the tuna into 1/4" to 1/2" thick slices.

Top the salad greens with sliced tuna. Drizzle with more dressing, if desired.


I also served steamed sushi rice with raw sliced toro, Albacore tuna belly. For that dish, I served some Sweet & Tangy and Hoisin sauce from San-J for dipping.

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce
