1
Prepare the Tuna
Pat the yellowfin tuna loin dry with paper towels. Season the tuna generously with salt, black pepper, and the Cajun spice blend on all sides.
2
Sear the Tuna
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned tuna loin and sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the outside is browned but the center remains rare.
3
Make the Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey Dijon mustard and fresh lemon juice until combined.
4
Slice and Serve
Remove the tuna from the skillet and let rest for a minute. Thinly slice the tuna loin against the grain. Arrange the slices on a plate and drizzle with the honey Dijon dressing before serving.
