Notes

  • Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. The tuna is best enjoyed fresh, but it can still be delicious the next day.
  • Freezing: It’s not recommended to freeze seared tuna as it affects the texture. If you must, wrap it tightly and consume within a month.
  • Pairing: This dish pairs wonderfully with a light salad or grilled vegetables. Consider serving it with a side of quinoa or brown rice for a complete meal.
  • Flavor Twist: Add some sesame seeds or sliced scallions as a garnish for added texture and flavor.
  • Serving Style: Serve the tuna on a large platter for a family-style meal, or plate individually for an elegant presentation at dinner parties.
