I was searching Eat Your Books for some ahi tuna ideas and thought the recipe for Seared tuna with pistachio crust and papaya salsa from Ottolenghi - The Cookbook sounded promising.  
I pulled out the book, saw the photo and almost changed my mind.  I was envisioning crunchy, toasted nuts but this looks like the fish is coated with some weird green paste.

Nonetheless, I persisted…

I lost some of the toasty nuts in the pan but scooped them on to the fish after this photo so I got what I was after. The salsa is quite nice with papaya, mango, cucumber, onion, chilies, ginger, lime zest and juice and fish sauce. 

I would annihilate that. The tuna looks amazing (I could take or leave the nuts personally) and the colours in the salsa are gorgeous.

 

Rather poor photo in the Cookbook, that fish is way over
