This blackened tuna recipe is very simple but it's my favorite way to have tuna. Seared fish steaks are a Cajun tradition.
Ingredients
- ½ pounds fresh tuna steaks, 1 inch thick: 1 piece
- Cajun seasoning: 2 Tbsp
- olive oil: 2 Tbsp
- butter: 2 Tbsp

Stages of cooking
-
Generously coat tuna steaks on both sides with Cajun seasoning.
-
Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over high heat until nearly smoking.
-
Arrange tuna steaks in the skillet and cook until blackened on one side, about 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until desired doneness is reached, 3 to 4 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium-rare.
