Wife was given some fresh tuna today so looking for some suggestions on how to season it. Also if youd like to suggest a recipe as well thatd be helpful too. She says she has an idea on how she wants to cook it but suggestions are always welcome.

Thanks in advance

If its fresh off the boat, you dont need much. Some soy sauce N Siracha hot sauce....

If you dont like raw fish, thats tough... u likely have some fine vittles on ur hands....

If thats the case, cut into steaks, lightly season/blacken in a skillet. I wouldnt cook over medium-rare.

Tuna goes well with thin chili and/or wasabi cream sauces

This is what we did with some tuna steaks last night...seared them in a hot skillet for a few minutes on each side, served them still pink in the middle.

I like them plain like that, but my husband prefers some type of sauce. This is the sauce I usually make for it:

Saute some minced garlic & minced ginger in some olive oil. Add a couple of tablespoons of soy sauce, about 1/2-3/4 cup orange juice, and a tbs or two of honey. Bring to a gentle boil on medium heat and allow to cook down until it gets somewhat thick, like pancake syrup. Add chopped green onions just before serving. It's kind of strong, but it went well with the plain fish and some jasmine rice.

Olive oil salt and pepper on a hot grill. Cook 45-75 seconds on each side depending on how hot your grill is.

The lightest dusting of Slap Ya Mama., cast iron skillet pre-heated, butter, then tuna with a minute or less on each side to get it med-rare.

Cover both sides in Olive oil and season with minimal amounts of salt, black pepper, red pepper, granulated garlic. then coat with Blackening powder ( I think it's Paul Prudhommes brand), heat pan hot, add small amount of Olive oil, just eough to keep from sticking and cook at high heat about twenty seconds on each side (assuming fish is at least 3/4 inch thick). We like it next to rare, high heat fast cook keeps it all rare except about the outer 1/8 inch.
