Method
- Step 1: Preheat your stovetop oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large pot of salted water, parboil the potatoes for 8-10 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
- Step 2: In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the asparagus and potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden.
- Step 3: Meanwhile, season the tuna steaks with salt, pepper, lemon zest, and a drizzle of olive oil. Sear in a hot pan over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
- Step 4: Arrange the asparagus and potatoes in a baking dish. Place the seared tuna steaks on top. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and lemon juice.
- Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the tuna is cooked through but still tender.
- Step 6: Garnish with fresh parsley before serving for a pop of color and added freshness.
