Seared Tuna with Greens & Salsa

Seared Tuna with Greens and Salsa

Fresh tuna is one of my favourite fish to eat. It’s seriously delicious! To be honest, I generally will eat it raw as part of a sashimi plate, as we have an amazing fishmonger close by. But when I do cook it, it will only ever be a quick sear, leaving it gorgeously pink and rare in the centre. Overcooking tuna is just not OK! And this Seared Tuna with Greens & Salsa recipe is one of my staples.

It’s quick and easy and oh so delicious. Super healthy too. You really can’t go wrong with the recipe. Freshness is the key though. You want good quality tuna (sashimi grade if possible) and fresh in-season vegetables. There’s not that many ingredients so you want be cooking with the best you can get. And the flavour combinations are true classics. Tomato, capers, lemon and mint. Fresh steamed vegetables. And perfectly quick seared tuna. It really is just amazing!

I’ve been known to cook myself this seared tuna with greens and salsa when I find myself home alone and cooking for one. There’s no better way to spoil yourself than with a delicious meal that feels like an indulgence but doesn’t require too much effort!

Seared Tuna with Greens & Salsa

Ingredients

2 x 200g tuna steaks
1 bunch broccolini
1 bunch asparagus
2 tablespoons capers, drained
6-8 cherry or mini roma tomatoes
a good handful of mint leaves
1-2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
juice of 1 lemon
dash of olive oil
salt and pepper

Instructions

1
Remove the tuna steaks from the fridge and season well with salt and pepper. Set aside to come to room temperature.
2
To make the salsa, finely chop the tomatoes, capers and mint and combine in a small bowl along with the vinegar, lemon juice and a dash of olive oil. Season with a little salt and pepper and stir well.
3
Trim the broccolini and asparagus and place in a microwave safe dish with a dash of water. Cover tightly with glad wrap and cook on high for 2-3 minutes so that the vegetables are just cooked, but still a little crunchy. Remove from the microwave and drain immediately.
4
Heat a griddle pan to really hot. Add the tuna steaks and cook for around 90 seconds each side. This will keep the tuna rare in the centre.
5
To serve, divide the vegetables between two plates. Top with the tuna steaks and spoon over the salsa.
