super easy dinner

Check out this easy and delicious dinner I made (yes, I actually cooked myself):

Seared Ahi (adapted from allrecipes.com)

3/4- 1 pound sashimi grade tuna salt and pepper 1/4 cup italian seasoned bread crumbs 1-2 tbsp olive oil

Cut tuna into 2-4 pieces. Season with salt and pepper and lightly coat with bread crumbs. Heat olive oil in skillet and then cook tuna 45 sec – 1 minute each side (depending on how raw you like the fish). Each piece has only small amount of fat and bread crumbs so essentially just lean protein!

Balsamic & Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower (adapted from eatingwell.com)

1 large head cauliflower 2 tbps olive oil 1 tsp marjoram salt and pepper 2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar 1/4 – 1/2 cup shredded parmesan

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Toss cauliflower in oil, salt and pepper, and marjoram and place on baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove and toss cauliflower with vinegar and top with parmesan and bake for additional 5-10 minutes until cheese melted (I like it slightly browned).

Enjoy!

Enjoy. If you are watching fat closely, limit yourself to 1/4 cup parmesan and you can even try it with 1 tbsp of olive oil instead of 2.

Bon Appetit
