A delicious, very healthy, and light recipe. It's perfect for not-too-heavy dinners or for meals with a heartier appetizer. I love adding the soy touch because it gives a lot of intensity and flavor.

We peel 2 pear-shaped tomatoes, grate them, and remove the seeds. We place it in the center of a plate along with some mixed lettuce leaves. We season and add a little olive oil. In a pan, we pour the soy sauce, a few drops of lemon, and let it reduce by half, taking about 3 or 4 minutes once it starts to boil. Then we add a bit of wasabi if desired to give it a slightly spicy touch and stir. On a grill, we add a few drops of oil and sear (grill) the tuna on all sides, no more than 30 seconds for a thin piece of tuna; if it's thicker, leave it a few seconds longer, but the idea is to have it slightly raw in the center (it's not very noticeable in the photos because of the sauce on top, but if you look closely, you'll see that the center of the fish has a different color, indicating it's only cooked on the outside).
