Herb Crusted Tuna and Accompaniments

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Herb Crust

    In a bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, dill, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Coat the Tuna

    Brush the tuna steaks with olive oil, then press them into the herb mixture until well coated on all sides.

  3. 3

    Cook the Tuna

    Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil and sear the tuna for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove from heat and let rest.

  4. 4

    Cook the Rice Pilaf

    In a saucepan, bring vegetable broth to a boil. Add rice, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for 15-20 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Plate

    On a serving plate, create a bed of rice pilaf. Slice the tuna and place on top, then arrange pea tendrils, pickled onions, sliced radishes, and jumbo crabmeat around.

  6. 6

    Finish with Oils

    Drizzle basil oil and balsamic reduction over the dish before serving.
