Pan-Seared Tuna with Zesty Lemon-Herb Sauce
Succulent tuna steaks pan-seared to perfection and served over a bed of fluffy quinoa with tender asparagus, all drizzled in a bright and zesty lemon-herb sauce.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Ahi tuna steak
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup asparagus spears
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tbsp fresh dill
1 tbsp capers
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp garlic powder
PREPARATION
Pat the tuna steak dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with half of the olive oil. Once shimmering, add the asparagus spears and sauté for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp and slightly charred.
Remove the asparagus from the pan and set aside. Add the remaining olive oil to the same skillet.
Place the tuna steak in the hot skillet and sear for 1-2 minutes per side for rare/medium-rare, or longer depending on your preference for doneness.
While the tuna rests for a minute, whisk together the lemon juice, chopped parsley, chopped dill, and capers in a small bowl to create the sauce.
Place the cooked quinoa on a plate, top with the sautéed asparagus and the tuna steak.
Drizzle the fresh lemon-herb sauce over the tuna and vegetables before serving.
