Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the broccolini on a baking sheet. Add the garlic, lemon zest, 1/2 tsp. salt and fresh grinding of pepper.
Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and toss to coat evenly. Place in the oven and roast for 10-12 minutes or until the broccolini is crispy but still has a little bite to it.
Cook the RightRice according to the packaging instructions. Fluff with a fork and toss with a tablespoon of the extra-virgin olive oil. Set aside.
Pat the tuna dry with paper towels on both sides, then coat with a generous seasoning of salt and pepper.
To sear the tuna, heat a nonstick or cast-iron frying pan over high heat. When the pan is smoking, add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the tuna and sear for one minute on each side for rare, then remove from the heat. Allow to sit for 5 minutes before slicing.
Place a generous portion of broccolini and a few slices of tuna over each serving of rice.
Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and the fresh lemon juice.
