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.

    I was a little hesitant about the wasabi, but it wasn't overpowering at all. It added a nice warmth to the tuna.
