- Oil grill with any non-stick spray and place tuna on grill. Grill 1 to 2 minutes then rotate 90 degrees and grill 1 to 2 minutes more on the same side.
- Flip tuna and repeat for a total cook time of 6 to 8 minutes or until the internal temp reaches 130°F to 135°F. Time may vary depending on thickness of tuna. Remove from grill and let it rest.
- Meanwhile, prep poke ingredients. In a bowl combine green onions, sesame seeds, sesame oil, soy sauce and lime juice. Cut and cube grilled tuna and toss with the above mixture. Toss to combine.
- Serve a scoop of poke and pickled cucumber slices and top with crispy onions.
