Seared Tuna with Lemon-Herb Quinoa
Pan-seared Ahi tuna crusted in cracked pepper served over a zesty, herb-flecked quinoa and crisp asparagus for a bright and refreshing finish.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Ahi tuna steak
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup asparagus spears
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp fresh parsley
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp avocado oil
PREPARATION
Pat the tuna steak dry with a paper towel and season both sides thoroughly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it is shimmering and very hot.
Sear the tuna for 1 to 2 minutes per side for a rare center, then transfer to a cutting board to rest for 3 minutes.
In the same skillet, sauté the asparagus spears for 3 to 4 minutes until they are tender-crisp and vibrant green.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped parsley.
Fold the cooked quinoa into the lemon-herb dressing, slice the tuna against the grain, and serve immediately alongside the asparagus.
