Pan-Seared Tuna with Avocado, Soy, Ginger, and Lime

Ingredients

Seafood

ย 1 (6-ounce) block sushi-quality tuna

Produce

    • ย 1 Avocado, ripe pitted, and sliced

2 big handfuls of cilantro, fresh leaves

1 garlic clove

1 tsp ginger, fresh

1/2 jalapeno

2 limes

Condiments

2 tbsp soy sauce

Baking & Spices

1 sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 pinch of sugar

Oils & Vinegar

1/4 cup olive oil, extra-virgin

Directions:

In a mixing bowl, combine the cilantro, jalapeno, ginger, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir the ingredients together until well incorporated.

Place a skillet over medium-high heat and coat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season the tuna generously with salt and pepper. Lay the tuna in the hot oil and sear for 1 minute on each side to form a slight crust. Pour 1/2 of the cilantro mixture into the pan to coat the fish. Serve the seared tuna with the sliced avocado and the remaining cilantro sauce drizzled over the whole plate.

The Buzz on Kitchen Island Electrical Outlets

When it comes to island design, most think of cabinetry, countertops, seating. These things are important, but thereโ€™s another little detail that is often overlooked. ย Itโ€™s a must-have and itโ€™s probably not what you thinkโ€ฆ Itโ€™s your island outlets. According to Normandy Designer Jennifer Cross, AKBD, hereโ€™s why you need them and where to put them.

โ€œKitchen islands have become the hub of the home. We use them for cooking, gathering, and as a workstation,โ€ said Jennifer. โ€œThat being said, they need to provide power in order to be fully functional.โ€

โ€œThink about everything you need to plugin,โ€ added Jennifer. โ€œThe island has replaced the desk, so in addition to small kitchen appliances, youโ€™ll also need to charge phones, laptops, and tablets.โ€

Most municipalities require at least one outlet to be considered up to code. Typically, it is usually at one end. It cannot go under an overhang and itโ€™s important to avoid drawer boxes or specialty rollouts โ€“ you donโ€™t want to interfere with anything.

โ€œPower outlets donโ€™t need to stick out like a sore thumb,โ€ said Jennifer. ย โ€œYou can camouflage them to match your finishes. For example, a darker outlet will blend into a darker finish.โ€

โ€œYou can also have specialty outlet covers made if you need a very specific look,โ€ added Jennifer. โ€œSpeaking of specialty outlets, you can also add a USB port too if needed.โ€
