1. Prepare Tuna Steaks
Cut the tuna into four evenly sized pieces and place them in a shallow baking pan.
2. Season Tuna Steaks
Sprinkle both sides of the tuna pieces with the mustard seeds and fennel seeds, pressing gently so they adhere well. Season the tuna with coarse kosher salt and freshly ground pepper on each side.
3. Prepare Gremolata
Finely grate the zest of the lemon into a small bowl. Add the chopped parsley and the minced shallot, and mix everything together thoroughly.
4. Sear Tuna Steaks
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is warm, gently place the tuna pieces into the pan. Sear the tuna for about 2–3 minutes on each side to achieve a perfect medium-rare doneness.
5. Serve
Arrange the seared tuna steaks on a warmed serving platter or individual plates. Generously sprinkle the gremolata over the fish.
Replace lemon with lime, orange, or a combination of citrus zests for a different acidic profile. . Herb Variation
Add grated ginger and replace parsley with cilantro in your gremolata, serve with a soy sauce-based dipping sauce. . Mediterranean Influence
