Cooking Tips

• Make sure to pat the tuna steaks dry before seasoning them to ensure a good sear.
• For a spicier salsa, add some diced jalapeno or serrano pepper.
• If you prefer your tuna more well-done, cook it for an additional minute on each side.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover seared tuna can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• The avocado-jicama salsa is best enjoyed fresh, so it's recommended to make it right before serving.
• Serve the tuna with a side of steamed rice or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
