Seared Tuna with Lemon-Herb Sauce
Pan-seared Ahi tuna steaks finished with a bright and zesty lemon-herb drizzle, served over fluffy quinoa and crisp roasted asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Ahi tuna steak
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
1 tsp Fresh oregano
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Rinse and cook the quinoa in water until the liquid is absorbed and the grains are fluffy.
Pat the tuna steak dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped oregano, and half of the olive oil to create a vibrant sauce.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.
Carefully place the tuna in the hot skillet and sear for 1 to 2 minutes per side for a perfect medium-rare finish.
Transfer the tuna to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into thick, succulent strips.
Toss the asparagus spears into the same skillet and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes until they are tender-crisp and slightly charred.
Serve the sliced tuna over a bed of quinoa and asparagus, then drizzle the prepared lemon-herb sauce generously over the top.
