From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes around 45 minutes. If you have arugula leaves, yellowfin tuna steaks, kosher salt, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the kosher salt you could follow this main course with the Low Fat Crumbs Cake (Kosher-Dairy) as a dessert.
Instructions
Sprinkle tuna steaks with 1 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add tuna steaks; cook 2 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness.
Combine 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon oil, and juice in a large bowl; stir with a whisk.
Add arugula and fennel; toss well.
Place about 2 cups salad on each of 4 plates; top each serving with 1 tuna steak.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine
Merlot, Pinot Noir, and rosé Wine are my top picks for Tuna. Though fish is often paired with white wine, 'meatier' fish like tuna can absolutely go with red wine. A Rosé will also pair nicely, particularly if your tunan is prepared with ingredients better suited to a white wine. The Peju Province Merlot with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 38 dollars per bottle.

Peju Province Merlot
Deep ruby in color, the 2016 Merlot offers fragrant, layered aromas of juicy pomegranate, baking spice, and a hint of cedar. Lush fruits of cherry and blackberry envelop the palate. Soft hints of toasted almond and vanilla culminate with an elegant finish. Delicious now, this Merlot will continue to mature for the next 6-8 years.Blend: 95% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Petit Sirah
