Tuna Steaks with Lemon-Parsley Butter

(mydeliciousmeals.com)

Very easy recipe for a flavorful pan-seared tuna steak that takes just 5 minutes to cook. Lemon and parsley butter, and pepper crust are perfect with this fish.

Ingredients

3 tuna steaks
3 tablespoons butter (unsalted, softened)
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons parsley (dry)
1 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil
2 teaspoons black pepper (ground)
salt

Yield: 3 Servings | Prep time: 3 minutes | Cook time: 5 minutes | Total time: 8 minutes

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine butter, lemon juice and parsley. Form a butter ball.
2. Wash tuna steaks and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt on all sides. Put black pepper on a small plate. Coat tuna sides with black pepper, gently pressing it in.
3. Heat oil in a thick-bottomed frying pan over medium-high heat. Sear tuna steaks for about 2 minutes per side (or until the desired doneness is reached), turn off the heat and add butter mixture.

Tuna Fish

Guest

Tuna is a very interesting saltwater species that is widely found all over the world. The fish mainly belongs to the Scombridae family and dwells in warm seas. However, consuming tuna fish is very helpful for our health. This is why we should eat the fish at least thrice a week.

I agree that fish is very good for our health. As for tuna, we may safely consume 3-4 servings of low-mercury tuna per week. Higher mercury tuna should be restricted to 1 serving per week. - Alena

We tried this recipe on small tuna steaks. Every single one was devoured. I had some concern coating the outside edge with black pepper since half the family avoids spice although we found it flavors very well with the lemon and the remainder of the tuna.

This is the best recipe! We make it regularly now, after trying it a few months ago. We put chives in the lemon butter instead of parsley.

alenatrs

Adding chives sounds like a great idea, thanks for sharing! - Alena

I'd never cooked tuna steaks before, so I was I little bit nervous. Followed the recipe exactly and they turned out excellent! Simple and healthy! My family enjoyed eating them. Can't wait to make them next week when my in-laws come.
