5Seared Tuna with Zesty Avocado Mash
This quick and flavorful dish brings together succulent tuna and a bright, creamy avocado mash for a satisfying meal.
How to make it
- 1
Prepare the avocado mash first. Scoop the creamy flesh of your ripe avocados into a small bowl.
- 2
Squeeze the juice from the whole lime over the avocado. Add your chopped fresh cilantro. Season with a little salt and pepper to your liking. Mash everything together with a fork until it is creamy and wonderfully combined. Set this aside.
- 3
Pat your tuna steaks thoroughly dry with a paper towel. This really helps them get a nice sear. Season both sides generously with salt and fresh cracked pepper.
- 4
Heat about a tablespoon of your favorite cooking oil in a nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until it is shimmering. Carefully place the tuna steaks in the hot pan.
- 5
Sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side for a perfect medium-rare finish, or a little longer if you prefer it more cooked through. You want to achieve a beautiful golden crust on the outside.

To serve, spoon a generous amount of the zesty avocado mash onto each plate. Top with the perfectly seared tuna steaks. Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes around for a lovely burst of color and freshness. Enjoy your delicious, high-protein meal!
