Pat tuna steaks dry and season with salt and pepper.

Serve sliced tuna with steamed edamame and dipping sauce.
1-2 Brazil nuts/day usually covers selenium. If this meal already contains seafood, eggs, or organ meats, a supplement may be unnecessary.
B12 absorption requires stomach acid + intrinsic factor; taking with a meal stimulates both. Plant-heavy meals also under-supply B12, making supplementation more impactful.
If the meal's omega-3 sources are plant-based (ALA from walnuts, flax), supplementing EPA/DHA captures the marine forms your body uses directly — ALA conversion is poor (~5%).
