1
Prepare the Tuna
Pat the Ahi tuna filets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with blackening seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
2
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
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
Rest and Serve
Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Slice and serve with lemon wedges.
