There is already lots of seasoning with the citrus, hot sauce, wasabi
and onions. I think there is way too much salt for that amount of food.

My current favorite method for pan seared tuna is with Thai red curry.

I agree but from a trick to taming fish sauce in my Thai chicken satay,
one of the members suggested doubling the lime juice and it worked.

I can easily cut down on the salt but at the same time cut back on the
lime.

Sounds good, only I've got a lifetime supply of Thai yellow curry paste.

Post your recipe or link it? The least I can do is toss it in the recipe
box..
