Seared Cumin Tuna Steaks
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. While you may use ground cumin in this recipe, whole cumin seeds typically have more flavor and a longer pantry shelf life. Tuna is delicious, but feel free to substitute any firm whitefish, including mahi mahi, halibut or sturgeon.
