Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your tuna bites. Look for tuna that is a deep red color and has a mild, fresh smell.
- Don't overcook the tuna: Tuna is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it just until it's opaque in the center, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Use a variety of seasonings: The seasonings you use will help to flavor the tuna bites and make them more interesting. Some good options include garlic, onion, paprika, chili powder, and cumin.
- Serve the tuna bites with a dipping sauce: A dipping sauce will help to add moisture and flavor to the tuna bites. The Dijon dipping sauce is a classic option, but you can also try other sauces, such as tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or a simple lemon-butter sauce.
