Seared Tuna with Zesty Lemon-Herb Sauce
Pan-seared ahi tuna steaks drizzled with a vibrant lemon-herb sauce and served alongside crisp asparagus and fluffy quinoa.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz ahi tuna steak
1.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup asparagus spears
0.33 cup cooked quinoa
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp fresh parsley
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the tuna steak dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, and chopped parsley to create the zesty sauce.
Heat the remaining 0.5 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus and sauté for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp, then remove from the pan.
In the same hot skillet, place the tuna steak and sear for 1-2 minutes per side for a perfect medium-rare finish.
Place the cooked quinoa on a plate, top with the seared tuna and asparagus, and finish by drizzling the prepared lemon-herb sauce over the fish.
