I will be cooking some tuna steaks tomorrow night topped with lump crabmeat and was wondering which sauce I should go with.

I have had lemon butter before and it was quite tasty; however, I do love Hollandaise. My only concern is the Hollandaise being too heavy for the tuna.

Thanks for the input.

before answering your question, can you let me know how you typicall cook your tuna steaks? seared on a broiler plate, grilled? and at what temperature do you like your tuna?

i think i would agree with this. I think Hollandaise goes better with white fish(specs, red fish, etc.) i would stay lighter with the heavy tuna meat

...This

Last time I used some real butter melted in a pan added shallots, garlic, lime juice, and white wine then gently tossed in jumbo lump and it was great

Seared on the stove, cast iron preferably. Just cooked long enough to make the middle not cold to the touch. A few seconds on high, high heat on each side basically.

A restaurant where I live does a Thai lime jalapeno sauce on the side with their tuna steaks it's really good.
