I tried this recipe tonight, and it was so easy and turned out so perfectly, I thought I'd share it!
I found the recipe at Health.com, but the credit goes to "Cooking Light - Super Fast Suppers".

Tuna with Jalapeno Sour Cream:
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (1/2 lime)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 (6-ounce) tuna steaks (about 1 inch thick)
- Cooking spray
Combine first 5 ingredients; set aside.
Combine chili powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Rub tuna with chili powder mixture; coat with cooking spray. Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot; add tuna. Cook 3 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Serve with sour cream mixture.
Now, I prefer my tuna medium-well, with only a touch of pink (unless I'm eating sushi, of course). So I cooked mine for about 5 minutes a side. It was super easy, super delicious, Mark loved it, and it fits into my "protein and veggie" way of eating. I served it with some oven roasted broccoli and a tomato and avocado salad.
Let me know it you give it a try!
Cheers!
