Heat the oil in a large griddle pan over high heat and grill the tuna on both sides for 3-4 minutes (depending on the thickness).

Place tomato slices on a serving platter and top with the tuna slices, sliced red onion, roughly torn basil leaves, a drizzle of olive oil, black sesame seeds and sea salt.
