Description

Imagine sinking your teeth into a perfectly seasoned tuna steak, the outside boasting a satisfying crispiness that gives way to a tender, flavorful interior. This air fryer recipe transforms humble tuna steaks into a delightful culinary experience, offering a quick and convenient way to enjoy a healthy and satisfying meal. The secret lies in the carefully crafted breading.

A blend of almond flour, parmesan cheese, and a medley of aromatic seasonings creates a coating that adheres beautifully to the tuna, providing a delightful textural contrast. As the tuna cooks in the air fryer, the breading transforms into a golden-brown crust, its savory aroma filling your kitchen. The air fryer method ensures even cooking, sealing in the tuna's natural juices and preventing it from drying out.

The result is a tuna steak that is cooked through but remains moist and succulent. If you prefer a less well-done steak, simply adjust the cooking time and temperature to your liking, ensuring the breading achieves that perfect golden hue. Once cooked, the possibilities are endless.

Slice the tuna steaks and arrange them atop a bed of crisp greens for a protein-packed salad. Tuck them into your favorite wraps with fresh vegetables and a creamy sauce for a quick and satisfying lunch. Or, simply enjoy them as a snack alongside a selection of cheeses and olives for a Mediterranean-inspired treat.

This recipe is not only delicious but also incredibly convenient. It's perfect for busy weeknights when you're short on time but still want a wholesome and flavorful meal. And because the tuna steaks can be stored in the refrigerator for several days, they're ideal for meal prepping, allowing you to enjoy a healthy and delicious lunch or dinner throughout the week.

Whether you're a seasoned seafood lover or new to cooking with tuna, this air fryer recipe is sure to become a new favorite.

Instructions

    1.
    Prepare 4-ounce tuna steaks by sprinkling a small pinch of salt and pepper on one side of each portion. For this recipe, you need steaks that are at least 1-inch thick. Set the tuna steaks aside, and make your air fryer breading on a clean plate. Combine almond flour, parmesan cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, italian seasoning, and lemon pepper seasoning. If your lemon pepper seasoning does not include salt, you may wish to include an extra pinch of salt in the breading.
    2.
    Turn on your air fryer to preheat to 375 degrees. You do not need to dredge the tuna steaks before breading them. Use a clean hand to press each tuna steak into your plate of breading, making sure all exposed sides are coated. Flip the steaks and roll the edges in the breading as necessary to ensure a full but thin layer of coverage. Arrange all breaded tuna steaks on your air fryer tray.
    3.
    Cook the tuna steaks for 20 minutes or until the tops of the tuna steaks are golden brown and the tuna is cooked through. This recipe makes a well-done tuna steak. For a more rare steak, turn the air fryer up to as high as 425 degrees and cook until the breading on top of the steaks turn golden. Allow the finished tuna steaks to rest for a few minutes before slicing. Allow them to cool entirely before locking them away in containers in your refrigerator.
