What internal temperature do you cook tuna to?
A
135*
B
145*
C
155*
D
165*
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Add tuna to hot pan and cook until tuna reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 4-5 minutes per side. Tuna is often enjoyed medium-rare (pink in the middle). For medium-rare, cook 1-2 minutes per side.

Detailed explanation-2: -The internal temperature of cooked tuna should never exceed 40°C and ideally it should be slightly over 30°C. Eating tuna “well done” is a waste of this wonderful ingredient. Brush the tuna with a thin layer of oil, just before the fish is placed on the griddle, both for the flavor and to stop it sticking.

Detailed explanation-3: -No dining decisions to make there. Tuna and salmon, on the other hand, are more steak-like and can be prepared anywhere from rare (about 110 degrees) to well-done (about 145 degrees), depending on your preference. (For the record, the USDA says 145 degrees is the minimum safe internal temperature for fish.)

Detailed explanation-4: -Rare: up to 100 degrees F. Medium Rare: 100 – 120 degrees F. Medium: 120 – 130 degrees F. Well: over 130 and we don’t typically cook our tuna that high (145 is the USDA recommended temperature) 13-Jan-2020
