Recipe for Preparing Fresh Tuna for Tuna Salad

If you like a white tuna, you would cook the Albacore Tuna-this is the only specie which can be called “white” tuna-all other tunas will be darker in color when cooked.




Heat oven to 350 degree. Place your tuna steaks (¾ to 1” thick) in oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. The color of the fish will be a uniform color throughout when cooked. Cool and break up into pieces for your salad.

If you like a Sashimi medium rare Tuna Salad buy a Sashimi Grade Yellow Fin Tuna-coat the tuna steaks with Cracked Black Pepper and grill for two minutes on each side-cool and slice into thin slices and add to your greens to make this type of salad.
