Dust leeks in flour and fry until golden brown, about 30 seconds. Drain on a paper towel, season with sea salt.
Salsa Verde
Chop all of the ingredients finely and mix together. Season to taste.
Albacore
Rinse fish and pat dry. Coat both sides of steaks with oil and season with salt and pepper.
Heat a 10- to 12-inch nonstick frying pan over high heat; add fish and cook, turning once, until opaque on both sides but still pink in the center (cut to test), 4 to 6 minutes total.
Transfer steaks to plates, top with fried leeks and serve with salsa verde.
