Seared Fresh Tuna Salad<\/span><\/h3>\n

Looking for a cool salad for a hot summer evening? Seared Fresh Tuna Salad is not your ordinary tuna salad. The wonderful flavor and texture of just-cooked fresh tuna gives a new meaning to tuna salad made from canned tuna. Add lettuce, sugar snap peas, corn and grape tomatoes for a refreshing summer treat.<\/p>\n

Searing tuna and leaving the inside uncooked keeps the tuna moist and soft. The fish is quickly seared and finishes cooking in its own heat. It has a crisp crust and remains red inside.<\/p>\n

The timing is for fish that is 1-inch thick. If yours is thicker, add an extra minute to the sitting time. If you prefer the tuna more well done, add 2 minutes to the cooking time.<\/p>\n

Look for yellowfin tuna (also known as ahi) at the fish counter. It will be delicious for this dinner and is considered an environmentally friendly fish.<\/p>\n
