Is this a good sauce paired with the Ahi Tuna?
Or what other sauce would you recommend for Ahi Tuna?

I wouldn't want to put hollandaise with Ahi. Personally I prefer my tuna sauceless but again that is my preference. I just lightly season, sear and serve with flavourful sides such as saffron rice, a fruit salsa, etc.

I love it with wasabi, soy sauce, and pickled ginger on the side. Seared with s & p. Mmmmm.

Ah great idea Thanks LP.
I might go you're way. I might add sesame seeds to my Ahi tuna.

Like the others said, it doesn't need much. I like to enjoy mine like a beef steak. Rare with a quick sear, and with minimal added seasonings, so I can savor the natural flavor and texture...

Well surprisingly, this can be a good combination - especially of the tuna is grilled like a steak to create a more charred flavor. It's that dark meat flavour that tuna can have that makes it workable.
If you go the hollandaise route, I would tend to create a derivate sauce from it though, such as a lime and chili hollandaise, and then serve with asparagus spears in the same sauce.
But I also made a video a while back with a tuna steak and fruit salsa. That's a lot easier than making a hollandaise anyway.

To me, tuna steaks need fresh, zingy ingredients instead of a heavy sauce. This is my all time favorite tuna recipe from Tyler Florence. It is crazy good!!! I highly recommend trying it.
This is for one serving but it's easy to double or triple or whatever you need to do.
Pan-Seared Tuna with Avocado, Soy, Ginger, and Lime
2 big handfuls fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1/2 jalapeno, sliced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, grated
1 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Pinch sugar
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 (6-ounce) block sushi-quality tuna
1 ripe avocado, halved, peeled, pitted, and sliced
In a mixing bowl, combine the cilantro, jalapeno, ginger, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir the ingredients together until well incorporated.
Place a skillet over medium-high heat and coat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season the tuna generously with salt and pepper. Lay the tuna in the hot oil and sear for 1 minute on each side to form a slight crust. Pour 1/2 of the cilantro mixture into the pan to coat the fish. Serve the seared tuna with the sliced avocado and the remaining cilantro sauce drizzled over the whole plate.

Yummy! Copied and pasted!
Zereh, it looks really good! I remember this episode now so thanks for posting - I may make it tonight if I can find some decent Ahi without having to go into the city.
