Golden Pan-Seared Tuna with Zesty Lemon
Pan-seared Ahi tuna crusted in cracked pepper and lemon zest, served over a vibrant bed of sautéed asparagus and fluffy quinoa.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Ahi tuna steak
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup asparagus spears
0.25 cup cooked quinoa
0.25 whole avocado
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
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 hot.
Sear the tuna for 1.5 to 2 minutes per side for a medium-rare finish, then transfer to a cutting board to rest.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the asparagus and minced garlic until tender-crisp and fragrant.
Toss the cooked quinoa into the skillet with the asparagus to warm through, then finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Slice the tuna against the grain into thin strips and serve atop the quinoa and asparagus mixture, garnished with sliced avocado.
