Golden Pan-Seared Tuna with Zesty Lemon
Fresh tuna steaks pan-seared to a golden finish and served with zesty lemon-infused asparagus and fluffy quinoa for a vibrant, citrusy bite.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Ahi tuna steak
0.5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 cup Asparagus spears
0.25 cup Cooked quinoa
1 tbsp Lemon juice
0.5 tsp Lemon zest
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
PREPARATION
Pat the tuna steak dry with a paper towel and season both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the tuna in the skillet and sear for 1.5 to 2 minutes per side for a perfect medium-rare finish.
Remove the tuna and let it rest while you toss the asparagus spears into the same pan, sautéing for 3 to 4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Stir the lemon juice and lemon zest into the asparagus during the last minute of cooking.
Serve the sliced tuna over the warm quinoa alongside the bright, citrusy asparagus.
