Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tuna

    Pat the Ahi tuna filets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with blackening seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  3. 3

    Sear the Tuna

    Carefully place the seasoned Ahi tuna filets in the hot skillet. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until the desired doneness is achieved.

  4. 4

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Slice and serve with lemon wedges.
