Golden Pan-Seared Tuna with Zesty Lemon
Pan-seared tuna steaks seasoned with zesty lemon and garlic, served alongside fluffy quinoa and crisp asparagus for a vibrant, nutrient-dense meal.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Ahi tuna steak
0.5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp Lemon zest
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Pat the tuna steak completely dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat half of the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.
Place the tuna in the hot skillet and sear for 90 seconds to 2 minutes per side to achieve a golden crust while keeping the center medium-rare.
Transfer the tuna to a cutting board to rest for 3 minutes before slicing against the grain.
In the same skillet, add the remaining oil and sauté the asparagus spears with minced garlic for 4 to 5 minutes until tender-crisp.
Stir the lemon zest and lemon juice into the warm cooked quinoa and serve immediately alongside the sliced tuna and sautéed asparagus.
