Notes
How to cook tuna
Searing tuna steaks in a hot skillet caramelizes the skin of the fish while retaining the moisture inside. To get the best results while cooking tuna steak on the stove, start with ¾-inch-thick steaks. Also, be sure to choose a large skillet that can accommodate the number of tuna steaks you’re cooking.Tuna seasoning
Organic dill weed adds a fresh and herbaceous tang to tuna salads. Organic garlic powder acts as a versatile taste enhancer with a savory touch. Not to mention, organic paprika (sweet or smoked) is perfect for adding a gentle warmth and a dash of color. To achieve a more grilled flavor, use smoked paprika.The best part of tuna
The otoro, which is the part beneath the fish’s belly and near its gills, is both the richest in taste and the most expensive. This is the fattest section of the meat, which diners enjoy. Chutoro is the part of the tuna’s bell that’s further down and near the back of the tail.The difference with canned tuna
Canned tuna is often packaged in water, vegetable oil, or olive oil, and it can be salted or unsalted. Whether or not you prefer it to fresh tuna, boils down to taste. Tuna packed in water is more neutral and watery, but when stored in olive oil, it has a peppery richness that adds to the depth of flavor.How to make tuna taste better
Begin by dressing up a can of tuna with mayonnaise, lemon, and cilantro. Then, for the ideal flavor and textural balance, add rice, crunchy seasoned carrots, and cucumber. Serve with your preferred condiments, such as soy and hot chili sauce.What to pair with tuna
