Spice-Crusted Tuna Steaks with Cilantro and Basil
Bobbi Brown adores this dish from Jamie Oliver's cookbook The Naked Chef, because it's delicious and because tuna is naturally low in cholesterol and saturated fat and high in healthy omega-3 fatty acids. When buying fresh tuna, look for steaks that are dark red and evenly colored, and have a tight grain without sinews. According to Oliver, good quality fresh tuna should be served rare or very pink, but you can cook it longer if you prefer. Amazing Seafood Recipes
