Tuna in air fryer is an easy-to-make main dish, light and perfect for any occasion. I used a fresh tuna steak, but you can also use frozen tuna, let it thaw first. Tuna cooked in an air fryer is a valid alternative to the usual grill or oven cooking and remains tender and juicy, it’s important not to overcook it; otherwise, it will become dry and tough. Very few ingredients are needed to prepare it; I also added some panko for a breading that makes the tuna even more appetizing with a crunchy crust. You can alternatively use breadcrumbs. Cooking time for tuna in an air fryer may vary depending on the type of air fryer you use; this is the AIR FRYER I use.
