Pan-seared tuna with Mediterranean salsa

Lenny Rede
Wine Pairings:  

Complex and earthy, enjoy this tuna with Pinot Noir

Low cal, healthy and fresh, this savory dish is quick and simple enough for a weeknight meal yet impressive enough for company. Serve with a nice salad and some Saffron rice, pair with a fresh bright Pinot Noir and you have yourself one heck of a dinner.   

Pinot Noir shows off its range in this pairing of seared, meaty red Ahi, herbs, tomato, and capers with its complex fruit and earthy characters.
