Recipe 41427 of 281476
Title: Cajun Blackened Tuna Keys: Fish Ocean Main Dish Seafood Yield: 4
Ingredients:
----------------- SPICE MIXTURE ---------------- 1 tbl sweet paprika 1 tsp oregano 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp ground cumin 1/2 tsp freshly-ground black pepper 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
----------------- TUNA ---------------- 2 tbl unsalted butter softened 4 x tuna steaks, abt 2/3" thick - (8 oz ea)
Method: Heat oven to 400 degrees. Combine paprika, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, cumin, pepper, and cayenne pepper on a plate. Rub butter over tuna steaks. Press tuna steaks into spice mixture; gently rub spices onto fish.
Heat a large heavy ovenproof skillet (cast-iron works great) over high heat for 2 minutes or until skillet smokes. Cook tuna steaks 1 minute on each side. They will make some smoke, this is normal. Transfer skillet to oven and roast fish 5 minutes for medium-rare doneness.
This recipe yields 4 servings.
Comments: If you dont have an ovenproof skillet, transfer seared fish to a baking sheet to finish cooking.
Description: "Tuna, a naturally lean fish, is tender and juicy when cooked rare or medium-rare. In this dish, searing dry heat chars a spice crust onto the fish."
