Tuna Parmesan

I picked this one b/c I love Tuna steaks and they are really healthy for you and I am trying not to eat too much read meat...and I have some tuna steaks in the freezer that are begging to be cooked. If you don't like potatoes you can subsitute them with asperagus.

2 lemons
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/3 tsp. salt
1/2 lb new potatoes
3 4oz tuna steaks
1 5oz package of baby greens
1/3 cup parmesan cheese

1) Preheat over to 450 degrees
2) Finely shred 2 tsp. peel from one lemon. Squeeze juice from lemon. For dressing, in small bowl whisk together oil, lemon peel, and juice, pepper, and salt. Set aside. Cut remaining lemons in wedges.
2) Place potatoes/asperagus in a single layer in a shallwo baking pan. Drizzle 2 tblps. dressing. Bake uncovered until cooked.
3) Meanwhile, heat 2 tble dressing in large skillet. Add tuna, cook 4-6 mins each side until browned and center slightly pink.
4) Divide greens on plates. Top with tuna and potatoes or asperagus. drizzle remaining dressing. Sprinkle parmesan cheese and place lemon wedges.

Enjoy! Let me know if you like!
