Tuna is a perfect fish to serve with Asian spices. This dish is a great complement of flavors. It is light, yet very tasty, adding a slight bit of sweetness from the orange juice. It is done in just 15 minutes so you can enjoy a healthy dish with minimal effort. Tastes just as good with salmon!!!

Ingredients

4 6 oz Tuna steaks
1 tbs Fresh lemon juice to rub on tuna
1 cup Minced scallion
3 Medium cloves garlic pressed
1 tbs Minced fresh ginger
2 cups Thick sliced fresh shiitake mushrooms (remove stems)
1 tbs Chicken broth
1 cup Fresh squeezed orange juice
2 tbs Soy sauce
2 tbs Chopped cilantro
Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Preheat the broiler on high and place an all stainless steel skillet (be sure the handle is also stainless steel) or cast iron pan about 5-7 inches from the heat for about 10 minutes to get it very hot.

While the pan is heating, rub tuna with lemon juice and season with a little salt and white pepper. Set aside.

Heat 1 TBS broth in a 10-12 inch stainless steel skillet. Healthy Sauté scallion, garlic, ginger and mushrooms in broth for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly over medium heat.

Add orange juice and cook for another 2 minutes, and add rest of ingredients.

Using a hot pad, pull our broiler pan and place tuna on hot pan and return pan to broiler. Keep in mind it is cooking rapidly on both sides, so it is done very quickly, usually in 2-3 minutes, depending on thickness.

Place on plates and pour mushroom sauce over each steak. Or you can lay a bed of mushroom sauce on each plate and place tuna on top.
