Golden Pan-Seared Tuna with Zesty Lemon
Pan-seared ahi tuna steaks crusted in turmeric and pepper, served over nutty quinoa and vibrant asparagus for a bright, citrus-infused finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Ahi tuna steak
0.5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 tbsp Lemon juice
0.5 tsp Turmeric powder
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Pat the tuna steak dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with turmeric, sea salt, and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering and hot.
Carefully place the tuna in the skillet and sear for 1-2 minutes per side to achieve a golden crust with a rare center.
Transfer the tuna to a plate and let it rest for a few minutes while preparing the vegetables.
In the same skillet, add the asparagus spears and minced garlic, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until the asparagus is tender-crisp.
Warm the pre-cooked quinoa and place it on a serving plate alongside the sautéed asparagus.
Slice the tuna against the grain into thick strips and arrange over the quinoa.
Drizzle the entire dish with fresh lemon juice before serving.
