Seared Tuna and Watermelon with Pesto Couscous

Chef notes

There are many complex nuances and flavors to this seemingly simple dish. The sweetness of the watermelon, rich briny salt from the feta, herbaceous and vegetal flavor from the pesto, sweet, sour and umami from the red onions — the textures and flavors all go so well together. This tuna and watermelon combination is the perfect springtime dish.

Technique Tip: Pre-heat your pan on the stove before searing your tuna and don't walk away from it. A quick sear on each side is all you need.

Swap Option: Swap tuna for shrimp. Swap couscous for orzo pasta.
