Seared Albacore with Kale and Quinoa

Albacore tuna... Mmmmmmm good! My dad and brother used to bring home albacore from their weekly fishing expeditions all summer long when I was a kid - it's definitely my favorite fish. I like it seared rare, so delicious and light. Tuna is a super healthy and we're going to pair it with a superfood... kale. I've never made kale, but's it's on the list and super healthy so it's time to get with the program. I'm loving my quinoa right now so I'll mix in a little quinoa with the kale and call it a day. Simple sauté for the kale, mix with quinoa, top with sauted tuna. Done.
