Seared Tuna with Cumin

Serves 4
Time 10 min
Aromatic whole cumin seeds impart texture and spice, while a touch of coconut oil, ideal for high temperature pan frying and searing, lends a sweet tropical flavor to the dish. Tuna is delicious, but feel free to substitute any firm whitefish, including mahi mahi or halibut.

Method

In a small bowl combine the cumin, garlic powder, salt and cayenne pepper; stir to blend. 

Sprinkle the cumin mixture evenly over the tuna, coating it completely. 

Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat until hot. 

Place tuna in skillet, and partially cover the skillet. 

Sear for about 3 minutes. 

Turn the fish over and sprinkle with the lime juice. 

Continue to cook until lightly browned on the outside and opaque in the center, about 3 minutes. 

Transfer tuna to plates, garnish with cilantro and lime wedges and serve.
