Yeah. Don't soak them in lemon juice. The lemon flavor will overwhelm
the subtlety of the tuna. Grill or sear the tuna and leave the center
red. A light vinaigrette (maybe throw in some dried tomatoes and a
chiffonade of fresh basil) will serve to accent the tuna and can be
used to dress the pasta as well. Contrast with buttery corn. Simple
and tasty. Fresh fruit for dessert.
