Seared Tuna With Bulgur & Chickpea Salad
  1. Bring a kettle of water to a boil. Place bulgur in a large heatproof bowl. Add boiling water to cover by 2 inches. Let stand for 30 minutes. Drain any excess water.

  2. Mix the bulgur with 2 Tbsp. oil, 2 tsp. lemon zest, ¼ cup lemon juice, ¼ tsp. salt, and pepper. Add chickpeas, parsley, and mint; stir to combine. Set aside.

  3. Heat the remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tuna steaks and sear until lightly browned on one side, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the tuna and cook until lightly browned on the other side. Transfer to a plate.

  4. Reduce heat to medium. Add onion to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Return the tuna steaks to the pan, cover, and cook, flipping once, until the tuna begins to flake when tested with a fork (it will be slightly pink in the center), 3 to 4 minutes per side.

  5. Meanwhile, combine dill with the remaining ¼ cup lemon juice and ¼ tsp. salt in a small bowl.

  6. Transfer the tuna to a serving platter. Spoon the onions over the tuna and drizzle with the lemon juice-dill mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tsp. lemon zest and serve with the bulgur salad.
