This beautiful fish will be a delicious and healthy dinner! Tuna in a frying pan in lemon juice is a great option to enrich and diversify a festive feast. Fish looks great as the main element of a soup or salad, but a juicy tuna steak is much tastier and more spectacular.

Step 1:
How to fry tuna in a frying pan? Tuna steaks are washed and dried with a paper towel. Salt, pepper and put lemon slices on top. You can pour lemon juice instead of slices. Leave to marinate for 40 minutes.
Step 2:
Pour vegetable or olive oil with a high smoking temperature on the seasoned fish, and lightly rub it on both sides and sides. Steaks can be fried, of course, without oil, but this way the tuna will be dry.
Step 3:
Preheat the grill pan to the maximum, WITHOUT OIL. It should be dry and very hot - this is very important! We put the steaks on the grill and put a little pressure on them from above.
Step 4:
Fry on both sides for only 1.5-2 minutes, so that the meat turns out very juicy and does not resemble the so-called dry sole.
Step 5:
Our dish is ready! No, it's not raw - that's how it should be! After heat treatment, ready-to-eat pinkish inside and ruddy outside steaks are transferred to a flat dish or cutting plane. I recommend that you additionally lubricate them with a small amount of olive oil and lightly sprinkle with lemon juice on both sides. We give the steaks a rest for a couple of minutes, after which we present them to the guests.

After I tried this dish for the first time in a restaurant, I was always looking for a recipe that would tell me how to cook tuna in a frying pan. I must say that at home the fish came out no less delicious, the main thing is to cook it properly. When serving, you can beautifully decorate the dish so that it looks no worse than a restaurant.

I advise you: in no case do not heat the grill pan with oil, otherwise you will spoil it!

I like tuna dishes, as this fish has an excellent taste, and it is also very healthy. It contains a set of various minerals and vitamin complexes that contribute to the proper functioning of the brain. Tuna is also rich in protein and contains a large amount of muscle tissue, which makes it taste like meat.

You can choose any side dish for tuna steaks - according to your taste.
