  • 1/2 lb Wild Albacore Tuna Half-Loin, steaks (1–1.5 inches thick)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp rice vinegar or lime juice
  • 1 1/2 tsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1/4 cup diced cucumber
  • 1/4 cup diced mango
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 green onion, sliced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Lemon or lime wedges, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, honey, and rice vinegar (or lime juice) to make the marinade and sauce.
  2. Pat the tuna steaks dry and place in a shallow dish. Pour half the marinade over the tuna and let it sit for 10–15 minutes while preparing the salad.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine cooked quinoa, cucumber, mango, cilantro, and green onions. Toss lightly and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with olive or avocado oil. Sear the tuna for 2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time based on thickness.
  5. Remove the tuna and let it rest for 2–3 minutes. Slice against the grain.
  6. Drizzle the reserved marinade over the tuna slices and serve atop the quinoa salad. Garnish with lemon or lime wedges.
