Golden Pan-Seared Tuna with Zesty Lemon
Golden pan-seared tuna steaks crusted in turmeric and black pepper, served alongside zesty lemon-infused quinoa and crisp asparagus for a vibrant finish.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Ahi tuna steak
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup asparagus spears
0.5 tsp ground turmeric
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic
PREPARATION
Pat the tuna steak dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with the ground turmeric, sea salt, and black pepper.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add half of the extra virgin olive oil.
Add the asparagus spears and minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing for 4 to 5 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
Remove the asparagus and garlic from the pan, add the remaining olive oil, and sear the tuna steak for 1 to 2 minutes per side for a perfect medium-rare finish.
In a small bowl, toss the warm cooked quinoa with the fresh lemon juice until the grains are well coated and bright.
Arrange the lemon-infused quinoa on a plate, side with the garlic asparagus, and top with the golden-crusted tuna steak.
