Golden Pan-Seared Tuna with Zesty Lemon
Pan-seared Ahi tuna steaks crusted in black pepper and lemon zest, served over a bed of fluffy quinoa and crisp asparagus for a vibrant, citrusy finish.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Ahi tuna steak
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup asparagus spears
0.25 whole avocado
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
PREPARATION
Pat the tuna steak dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat half of the olive oil in a stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.
Place the tuna in the hot pan and sear for 90 seconds to 2 minutes per side to achieve a golden crust and a pink, medium-rare center.
Remove the tuna from the pan and set it aside to rest; add the remaining oil and the asparagus spears to the same pan.
Sauté the asparagus for 3 to 5 minutes until tender-crisp and bright green, then remove from heat.
Arrange the warm quinoa in a bowl, top with the sliced tuna and asparagus, then finish with avocado, lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice.
