Ingredients

• 16 ounces (two 8-ounce steaks) Ahi tuna steak
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Fresh ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 cup Pineapple, diced
• 2 tablespoons Red onion, finely diced
• 0.5 Jalapeño, minced
• 1 Avocado, diced

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and honey to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the ahi tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each side of the steaks is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Step 3

While the tuna is marinating, prepare the pineapple salsa by combining the pineapple, red onion, jalapeño, avocado, and cilantro in a medium bowl. Stir gently to combine and set aside.

Step 4

Remove the tuna steaks from the refrigerator. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

Step 5

Add the tuna steaks to the skillet. Sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the outside is lightly browned and the inside remains pink.

Step 6

Transfer the seared tuna to a cutting board. Let it rest for a minute, then slice the steaks into thin pieces.

Step 7

Serve the sliced ahi tuna over a bed of pineapple salsa for a fresh, soy-free delight.
