Golden Pan-Seared Tuna with Zesty Lemon
Pan-seared tuna steaks coated in a vibrant turmeric-lemon rub, served with nutty quinoa and crisp asparagus for a bright, nutrient-dense meal.
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 tsp Lemon zest
1 tsp Minced garlic
PREPARATION
Pat the tuna steak dry with a paper towel to ensure a proper sear.
In a small bowl, whisk together 0.5 tbsp olive oil, ground turmeric, sea salt, black pepper, and lemon zest to create a paste.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the tuna steak.
Heat the remaining 0.5 tbsp olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Sear the tuna for 1.5 to 2 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until a golden crust forms.
Remove the tuna from the pan and let it rest for 2 minutes on a cutting board.
In the same pan, quickly sauté the asparagus with minced garlic for 3 to 4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Slice the tuna against the grain and serve over the warm cooked quinoa with the sautéed asparagus.
Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the entire plate before serving.
