Did you grow up hearing the pun "you can tune a piano, but you can't tune a fish?" Did it make you think of a fish playing the piano? Just us? Well, you can play some Rachmaninoff on your phone while you sear up this meaty tuna steak, getting it to that seared-outside-pink-inside that is pure perfection. And with a panko coating, the tenderness inside will be extra juicy and the contrast extra lovely. Can't tuna fish? Nope! Yes we can.
