PREPARATION

1
Rinse the quinoa under cold water and combine with 0.5 cup water in a small saucepan; bring to a boil, then simmer covered for 12-15 minutes until fluffy.
2
While quinoa cooks, pat the tuna steak dry with paper towels and season both sides with half of the sea salt and black pepper.
3
Heat the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4
Sear the tuna for 1.5 to 2 minutes per side for a perfect medium-rare, or longer depending on thickness and preference.
5
Remove tuna from the pan and let it rest for 3 minutes before slicing into thick strips.
6
Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork and fold in the lemon juice, lemon zest, fresh parsley, fresh dill, baby spinach, and the remaining salt and pepper.
7
Plate the vibrant lemon-herb quinoa and top with the sliced seared tuna.
