Makes 4 Servings

In a medium bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the dressing.

Butterfly each tuna block. Distribute the crab, cucumber and hijiki seaweed among the 4 blocks of tuna.

Using a mandoline, thinly slice the potato lengthwise and dip the slices in the potato flakes. For each serving, place 4 of the potato slices on a plate next to one another, slightly overlapping, between two pieces of Saran™ wrap. Microwave the potatoes for 45 seconds.

Peel back the top layer of Saran wrap and place a tuna block on top of the potatoes. Roll the potatoes up around the tuna.

Place the potato-wrapped tuna block in a skillet with some oil and pan-fry for 1 minute on each side. Slice the block of tuna into 5 slices.

To serve:

For each serving, place 3 slices of pineapple on a plate. Place the slices of tuna on top and drizzle with ponzu dressing.
