Tuna and Veggie Salad

I found this recipe at One Heart; One Mission, and, as usual, changed it a bit to fit our needs. It's an easy and tasty lunch.

Tuna and Veggie Salad

2 cans chunk light or chunk white tuna
1 zucchini
1 summer squash
2 tomatoes
2 carrots, grated
1/2 a yellow, red, or orange pepper
1/4 cup lemon juice
dried or fresh basil (mince if using fresh)
coconut oil or bacon drippings for sauteing

Dice veggies, heat fat in pan. Toss veggies in, except for the tomatoes, and saute until tender. Drain tuna and mix in with the veggies. Add tomato, cook just until heated through, then add lemon juice, stir to coat. Mix in basil. Salt and pepper if desired. Serve over salad or in a lettuce wrap.

You could substitute diced chicken or beef for the tuna, if you prefer.

Seared Mahi Mahi with Zesty Basil Butter

I found this on the Food Network. It sounds like an excellent recipe!

3/4 teaspoon salt, plus additional for seasoning
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus additional for seasoning
4 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
9 tablespoons olive oil
12 (6 to 8-ounce) mahi mahi fillets (or similar fish)

Zesty Basil Butter:

Combine the butter, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and basil in a medium saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring until the butter melts. Cover and keep warm over low heat.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the fish with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook the fish for 3 minutes; then turn and cook until just opaque, about 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer the fillets to individual plates.

Spoon the warm basil butter over the fish and serve.
