Golden Pan-Seared Tuna with Zesty Lemon
Pan-seared tuna steaks encrusted with cracked peppercorns and lemon zest, served over fluffy quinoa and tender asparagus for a bright, citrusy finish.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Ahi tuna steak
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup asparagus spears
2 tsp avocado oil
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp cracked black pepper
1 tsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Pat the tuna steak dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with sea salt, cracked black pepper, and fresh lemon zest.
Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.
Carefully place the tuna in the hot skillet and sear for 1.5 to 2 minutes per side to achieve a golden crust while maintaining a medium-rare center.
Remove the tuna from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for 2 minutes before slicing into thick strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and asparagus spears, sautéing for 3 to 4 minutes until the asparagus is tender-crisp and vibrant green.
Arrange the warm cooked quinoa on a plate, top with the sliced tuna and sautéed asparagus.
Drizzle the entire dish with fresh lemon juice and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
