Seared Ginger-Garlic Tuna with Warm Quinoa Salad

A delightfully light and flavorful GLP-1 friendly dinner featuring seared tuna steak with a vibrant quinoa salad. The ginger and garlic marinade complements the tender tuna while the quinoa provides complex carbs and fiber to support your medication.

Ingredients

  • 4 4 oz tuna steaks, wild-caught
  • 2 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 cups quinoa, cooked
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a shallow dish, combine the grated ginger, minced garlic, and soy sauce. Add the tuna steaks and turn to coat both sides. Cover and let marinate for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tuna steaks for 2-3 minutes per side, or until lightly charred on the outside but still pink in the center. Transfer to a plate and let rest.
