Place a nonstick sauté pan over high heat and add the oil. A few at a time, add the tuna pieces and sear quickly for just 5 seconds on each side. Transfer to the refrigerator until ready to serve. To prepare Garlic Chips: Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until it reaches 300 F. Add the garlic and cook for 5-6 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer to paper towels to drain and sprinkle lightly with salt. To prepare the Dressing: Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk well. The dressing can be refrigerated for up to 1 week. Toss the mache, frisee, endive and radish together in a bowl. To serve, place about 1 cup of the mixed greens on the left side of a large, rectangular plate. Lay 5 slices of the tuna side by side to the right of the greens. Scatter the ginger and chives over the tuna and top each slice with 1 garlic chip. Finish by drizzling 2 tablespoons of the dressing on the greens and tuna slices. Serve Chilled.
