Seared Sesame Tuna with Orange Sauce

Ingredients:

• 1 cup water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
• 2/3 cup uncooked couscous
• Cooking spray
• 1/4 cup sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 (6-ounce) Bluefin tuna steaks (about 3/4 inch thick)
• 1/2 cup fresh orange juice (about 2 oranges)
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon bottled minced fresh ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon bottled minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Directions:

1. Bring 1 cup water and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in a medium saucepan; gradually stir in couscous. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. (I added chopped fresh spinach to the couscous and let sit covered.)
2. While the couscous stands, heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Combine the sesame seeds, flour, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Dredge both sides of tuna steaks in the sesame seed mixture. Add the fish to pan, and cook 4 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Remove the fish from pan, and keep warm.
3. While the fish cooks, combine the orange juice and the next 5 ingredients (orange juice through garlic) in a small saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Combine 1 tablespoon water and cornstarch, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Add the cornstarch mixture to the pan, and cook for 2 minutes or until the sauce is thickened, stirring frequently. Serve the fish with the couscous and sauce.
