Low Carb Fish Recipes

Ingredients:

1/4 cup prepared mayonnaise
2 tbsp coarsely-chopped basil leaves
8 roasted garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
3/4 cup grated asiago cheese
4 pieces albacore tuna - (6 oz ea)
1 extra-virgin olive oil, as needed
1 salt, to taste
1 freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
1 ripe tomato, seeded, and
1 finely diced

Instructions:

Mix the mayonnaise, basil, garlic and asiago cheese together until
combined.

Season the tuna on both sides with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Heat a
heavy frying pan until almost smoking. Add the tuna in a single layer and
sear until lightly brown on one side. Turn over and sear the other side.
The tuna should remain rare.

Spread the cheese mixture evenly over each piece of tuna. Broil, 4 inches
from the heat until the cheese bubbles. Sprinkle with the tomato and serve
immediately.

Comments: You can buy sashimi grade albacore tuna at Japanese grocery
stores. Fujiya and Angel Seafoods both carry it. It is better to use a
piece that is thickly cut. Albacore is the tuna that is used in canned
tuna. Don't overcook it though, or your beautiful piece of tuna will end
up tasting like it came out of the can.

The heavy carb count comes from the roasted garlic -- 7.93 grams for the
whole recipe. You can omit it, which will bring the carb count down to
about 2 grams per serving.
