Cajun Tuna and Slaw

Method

Preparation and Assembly

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cajun Aioli

    In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, Cajun seasoning, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Cajun Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage and carrot. Add half of the Cajun aioli to the slaw and mix well. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

  3. 3

    Cook the Tuna

    Rub the tuna steaks with olive oil and coat them with Cajun seasoning. Heat a skillet over high heat and sear the tuna for about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Slice the seared tuna steak and place it on the bottom half of each milk bun. Top with Cajun slaw and a drizzle of Cajun aioli. Close the bun and serve immediately.
