Head to your local fishmonger and farmers market to grab some seasonal ingredients for a quick and nutritious dinner
Colourful produce and tuna’s lean protein make for a nutrient-dense, low-calorie dinner
When I popped into 7 Seas seafood store in Kitsilano a few weeks ago to buy salmon for dinner, I also picked up a piece of frozen, vaccum-packed albacore tuna to have another day.
That day arrived last night and up until the hour before dinner I didn’t know what I would serve alongside it, but as I arrived at Pacific Central Station to pick up my best friend Lisa, I happened upon the Main Street Farmers Market. We excitedly browsed the stalls for fresh produce and artisan bread to accompany our tuna, and decided on wonderful little tomatoes, mini cucumbers, greens, a squash, and freshly baked bread.
By slicing the tuna into medallions it cooked very fast, making this an incredibly quick but impressive and healthy meal.
Based on Canada’s Food Guide recommendations, this meal serves 4.
