INGREDIENTS
4 oz Tuna Steak
1 cup roasted Asparagus
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon (zest and juice)
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Trim the asparagus and toss with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet and roast for about 10-12 minutes until crispy.
While the asparagus roasts, rinse the quinoa and cook according to package instructions. Once cooked, stir in the juice and zest of half a lemon and the chopped fresh parsley. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Season the tuna steak with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the tuna and sear for about 2 minutes on each side for a medium-rare finish, or longer if desired.
Plate the tuna with a serving of lemon-herb quinoa and arrange the roasted asparagus on the side. Garnish with an extra sprinkle of parsley or a squeeze of lemon if desired, and enjoy your healthy, balanced meal.
