Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons maple syrup (see Tip)
Juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup olive oil
Four 6-ounce tuna fillets
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cilantro sprigs
Pear-Potato Salad
Avoid imitation maple-flavored syrups, which are typically made without any real maple syrup.

Steps:

  • 1. Whisk together the mustard, maple syrup, lime juice, and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Set aside.
  • 2. Season the tuna on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add the tuna and cook for 30 seconds on each side.
  • 3. Remove from the pan and brush both sides of the tuna with the maple-mustard glaze. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with the cilantro. Serve with the pear-potato salad.
