    TASTY TUNA STEAK

    Exchanges
    Serves: 4

    - 4 (4 oz.) Tuna Steaks, 1 inch thick
    - 1/2 cup basil leaves
    - 1 large tomato
    - 1 tablespoon virgin olive oil
    Pepper, to taste
    - 4 tablespoons shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
    - 1 lemon, cut into wedges

    Preheat broiler. Rinse fish and pat dry. Rise and dry basil leaves; chop tomato.

    In a large non-stick skillet, heat oil until it starts to smoke. Reduce heat, place tuna in skillet and brown on both sides.

    If you like fish rare, cook each side 1 minute, cook about 3 to 5 minutes total to cook through.

    Remove from pan and top each piece of tuna with a layer of basil leaves and 1/4 of the chopped tomato. Season with pepper and sprinkle with cheese.

    Broil fish about 3 inches from heat source just until cheese melts. Serve with lemon wedges.
