In a separate bowl, mix together the honey, soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds

Add honey/soy mix to the tuna and gently stir to combine, set aside for up to 1hr to marinate

Toast the slices of baguette on a griddle pan or toaster

Drain the tuna in a sieve to remove excess liquid
