Savor this elegant dish featuring a perfectly pan-seared tuna steak with a delicate flaky texture, complemented by roasted asparagus and a side of light, herbed quinoa.

INGREDIENTS
6 oz Tuna Steak
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
2 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the tuna steak dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil shimmers, gently place the tuna steak in the skillet and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side for a medium-rare finish, or adjust cooking time to your desired doneness.
While the tuna cooks, preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the asparagus with the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
Spread the asparagus on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy at the edges.
Heat the cooked quinoa if needed, and season lightly with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Plate the tuna steak, arrange the roasted asparagus alongside, and add a serving of quinoa on the side. Drizzle additional lemon juice over the tuna if desired before serving.
