GRILLED CITRUS TUNA STEAK WITH AVOCADO AND SPINACH
Dinner was
so good tonight, dinner seemed straight out of a restaurant. Five stars. So
good.
Ingredients:
- 3 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- juice of 1 lime, plus the zest
- 1 tsp freshly minced ginger
- pinch of salt and pepper
- 1/2 avocado, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 Tbs. soy sauce
- 4 cups spinach
- 1 tuna steak
- 1 tsp sugar
Instructions:
- Season both sides of the tuna with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 Tbs. oil, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, zest and sugar. Add the fish and marinate for at least 2 hours in the fridge.
- In a small skillet heat the last Tbs of oil. Add the spinach and wilt slightly. Toss in a teeny pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Remove the fish from the marinade and grill (or sear) for 2 minutes on each side. Keep it rare in the center.
- Pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan and reduce until it becomes thick, 2 minutes.
- Top the wilted spinach with the grilled fish, followed by the sliced avocado and a nice drizzle of the reduction. Enjoy your dinner!
