For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika to your Cajun seasoning. Ensure your skillet is screaming hot before adding the tuna to achieve that perfect blackened crust. Don't overcrowd the pan! Cook the tuna in batches if necessary to maintain high heat and ensure even searing. Serve immediately with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and your favorite sides, such as rice and roasted vegetables.
