Moroccan Tuna With Herb Salsa from Healthy Diabetic Recipes

Moroccan Tuna With Herb Salsa Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

1 tuna steak, (5-oz)
1/2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 small lemon, peeled seeded pith removed and chopped
1 small lime, peeled seeded pith removed and chopped
1 tbsp chopped green onions
1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
3 tbsp unsweetened orange juice
1/8 tsp salt
1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 tsp sugar

Recipe Instructions:

Set the oven to broil. Lightly coat the tuna steak with the olive oil and broil for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side, until the flesh is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Combine the remaining ingredients, pour the salsa over the tuna steak, and serve.

The extra salsa may be stored for 2 to 3 days, covered, in the refrigerator. It tastes great on broiled or baked chicken, too!
