Thea's Healthy Ahi Burger with Avocado and Cilantro Lime spread
I got a little tired of turkey, chicken, and egg whites this week! I decided to take a little risk and try a little something new. AHI BURGERS:) I usually put hummus or something as a spread, or an aoili (but aoili is super unhealthy loaded w trans fats). I made up a recipe that ended up amazing. To be honest, one of the best recipe's I've made yet!
Serves 2
Ingredients:
2 4-5 Oz. portions of Ahi Tuna (wild caught)
Mrs. Dash lemon pepper seasoning
4 Slices bread (I used 50 calorie Flaxseed bread from Sprouts Market)
1/2 Avocado
Spread:
1/3 C. 0% plain greek yogurt
1/2 Tbsp. Garlic
1 tsp. grated ginger
1/5 Chopped white onion
Juice from 1/2 lime
1/4 C. chopped cilantro (parsley works too)
Pepper and salt to taste
1. In small bowl mix all "spread" ingredients.
2. Spray large pan with olive oil spray and set to medium/high heat.
3. Add salt free lemon pepper seasoning to Ahi.
4. Sear ahi for about 2 minutes, flip and sear for 2 more minutes.
5. Toast bread.
6. Spread "spread" on one piece of toast for each person, spread other halves with fresh avocado.
7. Add ahi, make in to a sandwich, and take a BIG BITE:)
The best thing about this recipe, is it is not only healthy, but just as juicy and flavorful as ANY high end restaurant (just with a way cheaper price).
