What goes with Tuna?
Tuna loin has a dense, sliceable structure and differs from the fattier belly. The species and location within the loin affect richness, so assess the actual portion rather than assuming that all tuna behaves like one steak.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Tuna?
Tomato, capers or an olive dressing can supply moisture and seasoning to the slices. Use acid at a deliberate stage and keep additional salty ingredients in proportion. A cooked sauce supports a fully cooked loin more effectively than an increasingly aggressive sear.
