We love fish — well, Will and I do at least. Shawn? Not so much. But that’s okay. We tend to eat it when he has to work late, since fish is such a great source of nutrition.

After discovering a few recipes for seared tuna recently, which are strikingly similar in cooking method but different in serving, I decided to try my hand at my own variation. There is nothing like a good slab of ahi tuna, seared just right - as in rare. It’s a delicious and firm fish.
