Instructions
Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the tuna steaks to the skillet and sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly browned on the outside but still pink in the middle (or to desired doneness).
Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, minced garlic, the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper to form the dressing.
In a large bowl, combine mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, red onion, and capers.
Slice the seared tuna into thin strips.
Toss the salad ingredients with the dressing until well coated.
Arrange the salad on individual plates and top with the sliced seared tuna.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh Paleo Seared Tuna Salad.
