  1. In a heavy skillet over low heat, roast the pumpkin seeds till they begin to pop, then remove from the heat. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pour into a small bowl. Add in the bread crumbs, 3 Tbsp. of the extra virgin olive oil, the paprika, curry pwdr, salt, and pepper. Spread the seed mix on a flat dish large sufficient to hold the fish. Place the egg whites in a large bowl and whisk lightly.
  2. Dip the tuna fillet in the egg whites, and then coat well on one side with the pumpkin-seed mix. In a cast-iron skillet over medium heat, hot the remaining 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil. Add in the tuna, seed-side up. Cook for 3 min, splashing a little white wine around the fish after 2 min; don't turn the fish. Remove from the pan and serve.
