Seared Tuna with Lemon-Herb Sauce
Fresh ahi tuna steaks pan-seared to a buttery rare finish, drizzled with a bright zesty lemon-herb sauce and served over fluffy quinoa and crisp asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz Ahi tuna steak
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1 cup Asparagus spears
0.5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
1 tbsp Fresh dill
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
1 clove Garlic
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and dill to create the herb sauce.
Pat the tuna steak dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
Carefully place the tuna in the pan and sear for 1.5 to 2 minutes per side for a perfect rare to medium-rare center.
While the tuna sears, steam or lightly sauté the asparagus spears until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
Slice the tuna against the grain and serve it over the warm quinoa and asparagus, finishing with a generous drizzle of the lemon-herb sauce.
