Tuna, Cajun Blackened - Atkins Recipe
Ingredients:
2 tbsp butter,unsalted, softened 4 steak (8 oz) tuna, (about 2/3' thick each)
SPICE MIXTURE
1 tbsp sweet paprika 1 tsp oregano 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp ground cumin 1/2 tsp black pepper 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, (optional)
Instructions:
Tuna, a naturally lean fish, is tender and juicy when cooked rare or medium-rare. In this dish, searing dry heat chars a spice crust onto the fish. If you dont have an ovenproof skillet, transfer seared fish to a baking sheet to finish cooking.
1. Heat oven to 400º F. Combine paprika, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, cumin, pepper, and cayenne pepper on a plate. Rub butter over tuna steaks. Press tuna steaks into spice mixture; gently rub spices onto fish.
2. Heat a large heavy ovenproof skillet (cast iron works great) over high heat for 2 minutes or until skillet smokes. Cook tuna steaks 1 minute on each side. They will make some smokethis is normal. Transfer skillet to oven and roast fish 5 minutes for medium rare doneness.
