INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Tuna Steak
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
6 spears Asparagus
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
1 Lemon
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Pat the tuna steak dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Sear the tuna steak for about 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust time to desired doneness. Remove from pan and let rest.
In a small bowl, combine the cooked quinoa with the juice and zest of half a lemon, finely chopped parsley, and the minced garlic. Mix well.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss the asparagus spears with the remaining teaspoon of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus for about 10 minutes until they are tender and slightly crispy.
Plate a serving of the lemon-herb quinoa, top with sliced tuna steak, and arrange the roasted asparagus on the side.
Finish with an extra drizzle of lemon juice if desired, and serve immediately.
