If you can get your hands on some good, fresh tuna, you might enjoy these easy-to-make seared Asian tuna steaks. This is simply and quickly skillet sautéed tuna that is served topped with cooked eggplant slices and a tasty sauce.
What’s the best place to find fresh tuna?
A good seafood market is the best place to buy any kind of fresh fish. If your town doesn’t have a seafood market, sometimes a regular market will have nice tuna steaks too. Regular markets are delivered different kinds of fish at random times, so talk to the seafood guy at your local market to get the scoop on tuna. Whole Foods is usually my go-to market for picking up fresh tuna, swordfish and other seafood.
Ingredients needed:

This is a very simple way to prepare fresh tuna with a delicious sauce and a little bit of eggplant. If you’re not into eggplant, you can always leave it out of the recipe and just make the tuna with the sauce. Alternately, you can substitute fresh zucchini slices for the eggplant, if you’d like.
