Golden Pan-Seared Tuna with Zesty Lemon
Pan-seared tuna steaks crusted in cracked pepper and lemon zest, served over a bed of fluffy quinoa and crisp-tender asparagus for a vibrant, nutrient-dense meal.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Ahi tuna steak
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup Cooked quinoa
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 tsp Lemon zest
1 tbsp Lemon juice
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Pat the tuna steak dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and fresh lemon zest.
Heat half of the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering and just starting to smoke.
Place the tuna in the skillet and sear for 1 to 2 minutes per side for a perfect medium-rare finish, then transfer to a cutting board to rest.
Add the remaining olive oil to the same skillet along with the minced garlic and trimmed asparagus spears.
Sauté the asparagus for 3 to 5 minutes, tossing frequently, until they are bright green and develop slight charred spots.
Arrange the warm quinoa on a plate, top with the sautéed asparagus and sliced tuna, then finish with a bright drizzle of fresh lemon juice.
