Seared Tuna, Herb Salsa & Avocado (Lean)

Ahi tuna is a very lean fish and a popular addition to an aggressive fat-loss diet. 

Avocado wedges boost energy and make this recipe special – nutrient-dense, versatile, and perfect for keto or blood sugar management. 

The tuna is swimming in omega 3, B3, B12, vitamin A, and selenium, while the avocado and greens boost vitamin B5, folate, vitamin C, vitamin K1, iron, copper, and potassium.  

Herb salsa rounds out the flavour profile to make your taste buds sing.
