For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the wasabi pea crust. Be careful not to overcook the tuna; it's best served rare to medium-rare. If you don't have wasabi peas, you can substitute with crushed wasabi-flavored crackers or even a wasabi powder mixed with panko breadcrumbs.
