Step 1
Pat the 2 tuna steaks dry with paper towels, then season both sides with the 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Place the tuna in the hot skillet and sear for 90 seconds per side for rare, or 2 minutes per side for medium-rare; the outside should be browned and the center still pink.
Step 4
Transfer the tuna to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes; slice against the grain into 1/4 inch thick slices.
Step 5
In a large bowl, toss the 6 cups mixed greens with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt.
Step 6
Divide the greens between two plates, top with the sliced tuna, and drizzle with the 2 tbsp balsamic glaze.
Step 7
Garnish with the 2 tbsp fresh dill and lemon wedges from the 1 lemon; serve immediately.
