Marinated Seared Ahi Tuna
My absolute favorite protein option for my lunches. I do more fancier variations of this as a first course for my dinners and I can't wait to share those with you as well. You can marinate overnight or even right before you sear it. It comes together in 10 minutes (or less if you're a pro) and positively delights every, single time.
