Main Course -- Grilled Tuna Steaks with Avocado Salsa

6 – 8 tuna steaks (about 4 to 6 oz each)
One quarter cup olive oil
1 tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 clove garlic, minced
Juice of 1 lemon

Place tuna steaks in a shallow pan. Combine next 5 ingredients and pour over tuna. Place in the refrigerator and marinate for 1 hour before cooking. Place on a medium-hot grill for about 5 minutes per side. Serve with avocado salsa recipe to follow. You can substitute other types of fish for the tuna such as trout, sea bass or swordfish.

The Skinny: Tuna contains those omega fatty acids that are good for you.

Avocado Salsa

2 ripe avocadoes, peeled, pitted and diced
1 small sweet onion, chopped
1 15-oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 tomatoes, diced
Juice of 2 limes
One quarter cup olive oil
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
One quarter cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and allow to sit while fish is marinating to allow flavors to blend.

The Skinny: Avocados have some issues with fat but it is supposed to be the good kind of fat.
