Seared Tuna with Lemon-Herb Sauce
Fresh ahi tuna steaks pan-seared to a perfect medium-rare and drizzled with a zesty lemon-herb sauce, served alongside nutty quinoa and crisp roasted asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Ahi tuna steak
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
1 tsp Fresh dill
1 tsp Capers
1 clove Garlic
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the tuna steak dry with paper towels and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dill, capers, and half of the olive oil to create the herb sauce.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Sear the tuna for 1.5 to 2 minutes per side for a perfect medium-rare center, then remove from the pan to rest.
While the tuna rests, lightly sauté the asparagus in the same pan for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Slice the tuna against the grain and serve over the warm quinoa with the asparagus on the side.
Drizzle the vibrant lemon-herb sauce generously over the tuna and enjoy immediately.
