Blackened Tuna Bites with Sweet Pickle Dipping Sauce

sour cream

mayonnaise

sweet pickle relish

parsley

lemon juice

tuna,

paprika

garlic powder

onion powder

thyme

basil

oregano

salt

cayenne pepper

pepper

salted butter

lemon wedges

Make the dipping sauce

In a small bowl combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, parsley and lemon juice. Set aside.

Prepare the tuna bites

In a medium sized bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried basil, dried oregano, kosher salt, cayenne pepper, and pepper. Add the tuna and toss to thoroughly coat each piece with the spice blend.

Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. When the butter begins to foam, add the tuna in a single layer. Cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute per side. The lesser cooking time is for tuna that will be slightly rare on the inside and the longer cooking time is for more well done tuna.

Remove the tuna from the pan to a platter. Serve with the dipping sauce and lemon wedges.
