Instructions
Drain the smoked fish of any liquid add it to a mixing bowl and mash it up with a fork.
Mix in the wasabi, mayo, vinegar, relish, salt, pepper, and Old Bay. Make sure this is fairly runny– less creamy than the mayonnaise alone. Taste to adjust seasoning.Prepare an ice bath.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the Ahi well on both sides, lay the steaks in the skillet, they should sizzle. Sear them fast, about 2 minutes per side. Take them off the heat when the center is still red, and immediately submerge it in the ice bath for about one minute.
Remove the fish and thoroughly dry it. When the Ahi is cool, use a very sharp knife cut the fish into fairly even pieces less than ½ inch square.
Add the tuna cubes, lemon juice, celery and chives to the dressing mixture until just combined.
Serve it as a sandwich on toast with lettuce and tomato, or as a salad with the toast on the side.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir
Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir are my top picks for Fish. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. The Chehalem 3 Vineyard Pinot Gris with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 26 dollars per bottle.
Chehalem 3 Vineyard Pinot Gris
A blend of three great vineyards, this vivid grape crafts a food-friendly wine, bright and pure. Gray it isn't. The knife-edged acid, with pear, lemon sorbet, spice and jasmine makes your mouth water and your hands shake.
