I was a little intimidated to try out this poaching method until I found some Ahi at Costco. Everyone thought it was delicious. I had some leftover and so I made a simple sauce of mashed garlic and pepperoncino plus the juice of one lemon + fresh mint . Combined it with the (crumbled) poached tuna. Mixed it with some Fusilli. My Roman husband wants it again.
Oh and I incorporated the rest of the herby oil into the pasta. Beautiful.

Glad you used the oil -- and love the pasta idea. Wish I'd thought of it myself!

What should the internal temp for the poached tuna when done? Thanks in advance.

I didn't take the temperature, I just cooked it until it was barely pink in the center (see the finished dish photo above -- hopefully you can see what I mean). You could leave it more rare if you like, as well.
