Keto Tuna Steaks with Fresh Avocado Cucumber Salsa
These tuna steaks are delightfully crisp! They are paired with a fresh salsa made of avocado, cucumber, tomatoes, and plenty of lime juice and garlic. Each bite is juicy, a little crispy, crunchy, and bursting with fresh flavors!
How to Make It
Step 1
Lay 2, 4-oz tuna steaks on a clean surface. Sprinkle the salt, pepper, onion powder, and parsley evenly over the tops of the tuna steaks, pressing the seasonings in gently. There should only be seasoning on one side of each steak.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a small or medium pan over a medium-high heat. Place the tuna steaks in the oil, seasoned sides down.
Step 3
Cook the tuna steaks for about 4 minutes on this side – enough time to make the tuna a crisp, golden brown. Flip the steaks and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side. Once the tuna steaks are done cooking, set the pan aside to let the steaks rest.
Step 4
Meanwhile, make the avocado cucumber salsa by dicing the avocado and cucumber, chopping the tomatoes, and mixing them together with the lime juice, cilantro, garlic, and salt.
Step 5
Dress your tuna steaks equally with the prepared salsa and enjoy!
