"It is a good recipe. The kids and I inhaled it. I will definitely grill the steaks next time. As I don't own a cast iron skillet yet, the tuna stuck to my teflon and the oven seems to dry out the fish (and I like mine cooked). The grill I hope will keep it moist and yet not rare. A bit much on the seasoning for my taste, it overwhelmed the natural taste of the fish, but this is an easy fix. I served it with butter and herb noodles, and sweet buttery baked carrots (to off set the spice), with biscuits. Rice would great side to this meal. " - GrEEnEyedGoldiEYield: 4 Ready in 15 minutes

Notes Cajun Blackened Tuna Preparation
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Combine paprika, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, cumin, pepper, and cayenne pepper on a plate. Rub butter over tuna steaks. Press tuna steaks into spice mixture; gently rub spices onto fish.
Heat a large heavy ovenproof skillet (cast-iron works great) over high heat for 2 minutes or until skillet smokes. Cook tuna steaks 1 minute on each side. They will make some smoke, this is normal. Transfer skillet to oven and roast fish 5 minutes for medium-rare doneness.

Great recipe! Used hot paprika, not sweet (didn't have the sweet stuff in the house). Experimented once with added cayenne (1tb) and got too much smoke & fumes. I've made this four times now - excellent!

Great recipe. I added the Cheyenne pepper and it was a nice touch. My fiancé doesn't like seafood and she even loved it! Thanks!

Great simple recipe; but many flavors- just cut salt in half, and if you like the pink only do 3 minutes in the oven.

I'm a novice at cooking fish so was looking for some inspiration for the bargain tuna I picked up. This recipe was so quick and simple and easy to change the coating to suit taste/ available spices. I had this with egg noodles cooked with soy sauce and really impressed the wife!

My wife and I loved this recipe, a touch too salty but it tasted great. Will make this again.

Good Lord these were amazing, and ridiculously easy! We had 2 1-inch tuna steaks, so I used 2/3 portions, which turned out to be the perfect amount. Didn't have oregano or garlic powder, so I used 1 1/3 tsp garlic salt instead of the garlic powder and salt. My wife and I devoured these things, and now she thinks I'm some master chef. Thank you so much!

Loved this as very quick and easy. Would use less salt next time though as too much for my taste.

Love this recipe; just had it for the second time. Made this with Cajun rice. Chase it with a cold frosty beverage of your choice as I sure did...wow.

My wife loves tuna but I find fish quite bland. Rustled this up in no time and will be doing again soon! Spicy but not over powering - quick and easy. Will try the same spices on pork & chicken as well.

very quick and easy recipe. I will only bake for approx 3 mins as I like my steaks rare.

Wow! This is a really quick and very delicious recipe. So glad we tried it. You could easily get away with cutting the salt by 1/2 or more.
