It's always difficult if you are trying to accommodate all dietary requirements of your guests at any get-together you are considering. At our Canada Day celebrations we had several people on diets as well as a quest who ate no red meat. This recipe proved to be an ideal solution for both those prerequisites. The citrus marinade added a fresh tang to the tuna...and although I was concerned that the acid would ‘cook’ the flesh it proved not to be a problem because I left the steaks in the marinade for only about twenty minutes. I made the salsa up not to much in advance of serving, in fact just long enough to chill in the refrigerator before serving as recommended, but it proved to be sufficient for the flavours to harmonise with each other. If there was any notable variation from Dancer’s recipe it was in the recommended cooking time. I felt (for my taste) 10 to 14 minutes (total) might be just a bit long; so I opted for 8 minutes, four each side. All this taste and only 175 calories...excellent!!
