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

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.

Repeat process on second plate. Drizzle blood orange vinaigrette over tuna; serve with pea and crab salad.

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.
