Want to make sushi at home but not sure about rolling your own sushi? Try our Spicy Tuna Sushi Bowl! All the fresh and mouthwatering flavors in a deconstructed form. Easy to make with simple ingredients for a healthy meal you'll feel great about eating.

Last summer my husband went on a fishing trip off the coast of Louisiana and brought back lots of fresh Tuna. I was so excited for fresh fish, but then it hit me. I had no idea how to prepare fresh Tuna. This tuna was the best of the best and deserved to be cooked properly. I had several failed attempts of searing and cooking too much. I finally perfected my sear and Sesame Crusted Ahi Tuna is one of our favorites. Next, I wanted to make sushi out of it but the thought of rolling my own sushi is a little intimidating. So I did the next best thing, I made a Spicy Tuna Sushi Bowl. All the delicious, fresh flavors of a Spicy Tuna Roll in a deconstructed form. It's actually way better in my opinion.

If you don't have a freezer full of tuna like I currently do, you can also find fresh sushi grade tuna at the meat counter in most grocery stores. Or at a fresh seafood market if you're fortunate enough to live close to one. This recipe has instructions for cooking rice on the stove but you can also cook it in your instant pot. That's usually what I do and it comes out perfect every time. Combine a 1:1 ratio of rice to water, add in butter and pressure cook on high for 20-22 minutes. Let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes before releasing pressure. Remove lid and stir in additional ingredients. This marinade is very easy with simple ingredients and it also makes delicious tuna tacos topped with a mango or pineapple slaw.

I hope you give this recipe a try and love it as much as us. If you do, please leave a comment below and let me know what you thought!
