For the Blackened Ahi Tuna
1. Prepare the Tuna Steaks
Pat the Ahi tuna steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve a better sear.
2. Season the Tuna
Rub the cajun seasoning evenly over both sides of the tuna steaks. Sprinkle salt and black pepper on both sides for added flavor.
3. Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, but not smoking.
4. Cook the Tuna
Carefully place the seasoned tuna steaks in the hot skillet. Sear for 1-2 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust the cooking time for your desired doneness.
5. Rest the Tuna
Remove the tuna steaks from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.
For the Avocado Salsa
6. Prepare the Ingredients
Dice the ripe avocados and place them in a mixing bowl. Halve the cherry tomatoes and finely chop the red onion.
7. Mix the Salsa
Add the cherry tomatoes, red onion, lime juice, cilantro, and salt to the diced avocados. Gently fold the ingredients together to combine, being careful not to mash the avocados.
8. Taste and Adjust
Taste the avocado salsa and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice to your preference.
