SEARED AHI TUNA
Use this recipe to make the most out of this fit-friendly fish




By the Hers Staff

Many figure and fitness competitors love this gourmet meal chock-full of protein, thanks to our fishy friend, the Ahi. It will not only fill you up, but it will keep you satisfied longer, and nix those nasty snack cravings.

Seared Ahi Tuna (Serves 2)

2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp. soy sauce (or 2 teaspoons of wheat-free tamari for gluten-free option)
1 Tbsp. of grated fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
1 green onion (scallion) thinly sliced (optional)
1 tsp. lemon juice
2 (6-8 ounce.) fresh, sushi-grade ahi tuna steaks (3/4-inch thick)

1. Mix balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, green onions and lemon juice together in a large bowl.
2. Place tuna steaks in bowl with the marinade, cover tightly and refrigerate for at least an hour.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high to high heat. When the pan is hot, remove tuna from the marinade and sear them for 1 minute to 1˝ on each side for rare tuna (keep on heat longer if you want the tuna more cooked through)
4. Remove from pan, and slice into 1/4-inch thick slices. Serve alone, atop a bed of lettuce or with brown rice.
