Tuna steak with avocado salsa is a fresh, high-protein meal featuring perfectly seared tuna topped with a zesty, creamy avocado salsa. It’s quick to prepare, light, and packed with bold, clean flavors.

Ingredients

  • 2 fresh tuna steaks
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine diced avocado, red onion, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and jalapeño if using. Toss gently and set aside.
  2. Pat tuna steaks dry. Rub with olive oil and season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Heat a skillet or grill pan over high heat. Add a little oil if needed. Sear tuna steaks for 1–2 minutes per side for rare, or longer for desired doneness.
  4. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes. Slice against the grain if desired.
  5. Top each tuna steak with a generous spoonful of avocado salsa and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

  • Use sushi-grade tuna for best results when searing rare.
  • Make salsa just before serving to prevent avocado browning.
  • Customize salsa with mango or cucumber for variation.
  • Tuna is best served fresh or at room temperature.
  • Don’t overcook tuna—it becomes dry quickly.
