Ingredients

  • cup uncooked plain or tricolor quinoa, rinsed and drained

  • 1 cup frozen shelled edamame

  • ¼ cup lemon juice

  • ¼ cup fresh clementine or orange juice

  • 3 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon white miso paste

  • 4 4 ounce fresh tuna steaks

  • 5 cup fresh chopped, stemmed kale

  • 1 medium cucumber, cut up (1 1/2 cups)

  • 2 small oranges, peeled and sliced

  • Toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan combine the quinoa, the 1 1/3 cups water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Stir in edamame and let stand 10 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together lemon juice, clementine juice, 3 tablespoons oil, garlic, miso, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place fish in a shallow dish. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the dressing. Turn to coat.

  3. On a grill or in a greased grill pan cook fish over medium 3 to 4 minutes per side or until still slightly pink in the center.

  4. Place kale in a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of the remaining dressing. Using clean hands or tongs, massage kale 1 minute.

  5. Divide quinoa mixture among bowls. Add kale, cucumber and orange slices. Break fish into pieces and add to bowls. Drizzle with remaining dressing. If desired, top with toasted sesame seeds.
