1/4 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 (3/4-pound) piece sushi-grade tuna, halved
Olive oil
Zest of 1 blood orange
Juice of 1 blood orange
2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 sweet red chile pepper, such as Fresno, chopped
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix together chile powder, paprika, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. Rub tuna all over with olive oil and then with chile powder mixture to coat.
  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place tuna in skillet and cook, turning once, until rare, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together blood orange zest and juice, soy sauce, fresh ginger, sweet chile pepper, and sesame oil; add blood orange segments and toss to coat. Set vinaigrette aside.
  • Divide tuna evenly between two serving plates. Place a heart-shaped mold on one of the plates and fill with half of the sweet potato mixture. Smooth top to level; carefully lift mold to remove. Repeat process on second plate. Drizzle blood orange vinaigrette over tuna; serve with pea and crab salad.

This recipe is perfect for a summer picnic. The tuna can be cooked ahead of time and the vinaigrette can be made in a jar. Just pack everything up and you're good to go!

I'm a vegetarian, but I'm always looking for new and exciting ways to cook fish. This recipe caught my eye because of the blood orange vinaigrette. I substituted tofu for the tuna and it turned out great! The vinaigrette was especially delicious.

This recipe is low in carbs and high in protein, making it a great choice for those on a low-carb diet. The tuna is also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids.
