This summer is really hot, and you may not want to consume foods that can warm you up more. Salads are an excellent option for a meal that is both healthful and light. This Oriental seared tuna salad with plums is one of those dishes that you may indulge in guilt-free on a hot summer day. The fruit mixes nicely with the fish since it does not dominate but rather complements it.
ORIENTAL SEARED TUNA SALAD SUGGESTIONS
To brown the outside of tuna without overcooking the inside, a smoking-hot pan is required. Fish requires less than four minutes each side. Tuna is also a highly nutritious fish due to its high protein and Omega-3 fat content, which are beneficial for your joints, immune system, and muscles. As fish generally enjoys citrus, the salad and dressing are a light and flavorful complement to the perfectly grilled fish.
This summer, enjoy a light and nutritious Oriental seared tuna salad with plums, courtesy of Jenni Morris and Juicy Delicious’s recipe.
