Pan-Seared Tuna with Lemon-Herb Sauce
Pan-seared ahi tuna steaks finished with a bright lemon-caper herb sauce, served alongside fluffy quinoa and crisp-tender roasted asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz Ahi tuna steak
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1 cup Asparagus spears
0.75 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
1 tsp Capers
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the ahi tuna steak completely dry with paper towels and season both sides with the sea salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, capers, minced garlic, and chopped parsley with 0.25 tablespoons of the olive oil to create the sauce.
Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat with the remaining 0.5 tablespoons of olive oil until the oil is shimmering.
Add the asparagus spears to the skillet and sauté for 4 minutes until they are crisp-tender and slightly charred, then remove them from the pan.
Place the tuna steak in the same hot skillet and sear for 90 seconds per side to achieve a golden crust and a pink, medium-rare center.
Allow the tuna to rest on a cutting board for 2 minutes before slicing it into half-inch thick strips.
Arrange the sliced tuna over a bed of warm quinoa and the sautéed asparagus, then drizzle the prepared lemon-herb sauce over the fish before serving.
