Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6 oz each) tuna steaks
- 1 cup (fresh or frozen) raspberries
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon (freshly squeezed) lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 clove (minced) garlic
- 2 tablespoons (divided) olive oil
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 medium (sliced) cucumber
- 1 cup (halved) cherry tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon (divided) sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (divided) black pepper
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, honey, lime juice, red chili flakes, and minced garlic.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and form a thick glaze (about 5 minutes). Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and set the glaze aside.
Season the tuna steaks with 0.5 teaspoon of sea salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tuna steaks for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare or cook longer to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for a minute.
In a large bowl, toss the mixed salad greens, cucumber slices, and cherry tomatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of sea salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
Divide the salad onto two plates. Place a tuna steak on top of each bed of greens.
Drizzle the raspberry chili glaze generously over the tuna and the greens. Serve immediately and enjoy!
