Ahi Tuna Salad is one of the most popular dishes at J. Alexander’s. We start with fresh, never frozen tuna that is flown in twice weekly from the Marshall Islands in the South Pacific. Our tuna filets are then cut in-house daily by our chefs. The salad is Asian-inspired and includes a tuna filet, seared and cooked rare on top of field greens and wasabi, finished with a cilantro vinaigrette.
While guests are welcome to order a tuna filet on top of any of our fresh salads, the Asian Ahi Tuna Salad was carefully crafted to highlight the flavors of this remarkable fish. We cook our tuna filet on our wood-fired grills, rare unless otherwise requested.
Each J. Alexander’s location receives two shipments of fresh, never frozen tuna directly from the Marshal Islands in the South Pacific. Our tuna is line caught and selected for its flavor, texture, and freshness.
Ahi tuna is a great lean protein for any guest looking for a healthy, light option for dinner or lunch. Tuna has plenty of nutrients as well, including vitamin C, zinc, and selenium. Our Asian Ahi Tuna Salad also includes fresh greens that are nutrient-dense and filled with essential vitamins and minerals.
TWe loved the up scale dining room with comfortable chairs. The menu is not too big, and I ordered the Asian Ahi Tuna Salad. Tuna was cooked perfectly, and the dressing was light and refreshing!
