Healthy Cooking Tips:
Because tuna can get dry when cooked it's important to choose very fresh cuts at least 1 inch thick.
Yellowfin tuna is a good type for this dish.
Because temperature varies in stoves check for doneness only about 30 seconds after turning.
Tuna is usually best, cooked medium rare.
Stick the tip of a sharp knife to check for doneness.
It should begin to flake on the outside, but still be reddish and firm in the center.
Remove it from the heat slightly before it's cooked to your preference, as it continues to cook after it has been removed from the heat.
Make sure that your sauce ingredients are very finely minced for this recipe, especially the lemon rind.
The flavors merge together better and the rind can be strong and bitter if left in bigger pieces.
Don't over cook the sauce.
You want it fresh tasting for best flavor.
