Servings: persons

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (about 5 oranges)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
2 green onions, minced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
4 (6-ounce) tuna steaks, about 1 inch thick
Sea salt, to taste
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 orange, peeled and sectioned
4 cups fresh spinach

1
Combine 1 tablespoon olive oil and next 5 ingredients in a small bowl. Place tuna in a shallow dish or zip-top bag, and add half of orange juice mixture. Set aside remaining mixture. Turn tuna to coat evenly, and marinate 15 minutes.
2
Remove fish from marinade, and sprinkle both sides with sea salt and pepper. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, and sear about 3 to 5 minutes per side, depending on desired doneness. (Tuna is best medium-rare, or very pink in the center, to medium.) Remove from pan; cover loosely with foil, and let stand 5 minutes.
3
Add reserved marinade mixture and orange sections to pan, and cook just until warmed; keep warm.
4
Heat 2 tablespoons water in pan; add spinach, sea salt, and pepper; cover and steam 1 minute or just until wilted. Divide spinach and tuna evenly among 4 plates. Pour sauce and drippings over fish.
