If you’re looking to bring bold Southern flavors into a healthy seafood dish, this Honey Dijon Baked Tuna Filets Recipe is your perfect catch. With tender, juicy tuna steaks drizzled in a sweet and tangy honey Dijon glaze, this recipe is packed with flavor and wholesome goodness.
Prepare the Tuna: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Season both sides of the tuna steaks with salt and black pepper.
Make the Honey Dijon Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the Dijon mustard, honey, and black pepper, and stir until the sauce is smooth and well combined. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Bake the Tuna Steaks: Place the tuna steaks in a baking dish. Pour half of the honey Dijon sauce over the steaks, reserving the rest for serving. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes at 350°F.
Serve: Once the tuna is baked through, remove from the oven and drizzle the remaining warm honey Dijon sauce over the top. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
