Pan-Seared Tuna with Roasted Asparagus
Pan-searing sesame-crusted Ahi tuna steaks and serving them with tender roasted asparagus over a bed of fluffy quinoa creates a vibrant and nutrient-dense dinner.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Ahi tuna steak
1 cup Asparagus spears
0.25 cup Dry quinoa
0.5 tbsp Olive oil
1 tsp Toasted sesame oil
1 tbsp Tamari
1 tbsp Sesame seeds
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss the asparagus spears on a baking sheet with half of the olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.
Roast the asparagus for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly charred at the tips.
While the asparagus roasts, rinse the quinoa and combine it with 0.5 cup of water in a small saucepan; bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy.
Pat the tuna steak dry with a paper towel and press the sesame seeds firmly onto both sides to create an even crust.
Heat the remaining olive oil and the toasted sesame oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat until shimmering.
Sear the tuna steak for 1-2 minutes per side for a perfect rare center, then remove from heat and slice into strips.
Plate the sliced tuna over the quinoa alongside the roasted asparagus and finish with a drizzle of tamari.
