Notes
- Use fresh, high-quality, wild-caught ahi tuna for the best flavor and texture. Look for tuna steaks that are firm, deep red, and don’t have a strong fishy smell.
- Pat the tuna steaks dry with a paper towel before placing them in the marinade so they can really soak up all the flavor.
- Don’t marinate the tuna for too long or it can start to break down the texture.
- Preheat the air fryer before cooking the tuna. This is crucial to getting that sear on the outside without overcooking the inside.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Leftovers are best eaten cold on a salad.
