  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 fresh tuna steaks (about 6 oz each)
2 medium zucchinis, spiralized
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce (gluten free)
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tsp sesame seeds
1 tbsp fresh green onions, sliced
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp sea salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 200°F. Heat olive oil in oven-safe skillet over high heat. Pat tuna dry, season with salt and pepper. Sear 1 minute per side until golden. Add garlic and zucchini noodles, toss 2-3 minutes with tongs. Mix soy sauce, lemon juice, and sesame seeds in a bowl. Pour over noodles, toss gently. Finish in oven 4-5 minutes.

Notes

Pro tips:
Use paper towels to dry tuna for perfect sear
Sprinkle noodles with salt/let sit 5 minutes to remove moisture
Substitute coconut aminos for soy sauce if preferred
Store leftovers refrigerated up to 3 days
Add cherry tomatoes or edamame for extra freshness
