Grilled Albacore with Quinoa Salad
Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: 6 minutes | Total Time: 1 hours
Ingredients
- 4 packages Vital Choice Albacore Tuna medallions (6 ounces each)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Vital Choice organic extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce or tamari
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar or white vinegar
- 2 cups greens (rainbow chard, kale or spinach)
- 1 cup quinoa
- 1 tablespoon fresh Italian parsley
- 5 to 6 radishes
- 1 large lemon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Make tuna marinade: Combine mustard, olive oil, soy sauce and vinegar in a small bowl.
- Pour marinade over tuna and turn to make sure all pieces are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours before grilling.
- While the tuna marinates, prepare quinoa according to package instructions. Rough chop greens and parsley; slice radishes; juice the lemon.
- As soon as the quinoa is done, stir in the greens. The heat of the quinoa effectively wilts them to the perfect doneness.
- Stir in the lemon juice, radishes, parsley and olive oil, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside until tuna is done; can keep warm or place in the fridge to enjoy cold.
- Brush grill with olive oil and heat the grill (or broiler) to 350 degrees F.
- Grill over hot coals for about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes per side, or until charred on the outside and still a little pink in the middle. Do not overcook!
- Enjoy the freshly cooked tuna medallions with the quinoa salad on the side.
