Lemon Pepper Tuna
Ingredients
  • 4 fresh or frozen tuna steaks, cut 1-inch thick (about 1 pound)
  • 2 tablespoons  lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon  reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon  snipped fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon  salt-free lemon-pepper seasoning
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 2 cups  chopped broccoli
  • 1/2 cup  packaged coarsely shredded fresh carrots
  • 1 cup  reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup  water
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup  whole wheat couscous
  • 1 tablespoon  fresh thyme sprigs (optional)
Directions

1. Thaw fish if frozen. Rinse fish steaks; pat dry. In a small bowl combine lemon juice, soy sauce, snipped thyme, and seasoning. Brush mixture over one side of steaks.

2. Lightly coat the unheated rack of a broiler pan with cooking spray. Place fish, brushed sides up on broiler pan. Broil 4 inches from the heat for 8 to 12 minutes or until fish begins to flake when tested with a fork, turning once and brushing with lemon juice mixture halfway through cooking.

3. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan bring broccoli, carrot, chicken broth, water, and garlic just to boiling. Cook, covered, about 3 minutes or until broccoli is barely crisp-tender. Stir in couscous. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Serve fish atop hot cooked couscous mixture. If desired, garnish with thyme sprigs.

From the Test KitchenSubstitution Tip:
  • You can substituted instant brown rice for the couscous, just add it with the broccoli, carrot, chicken broth, water, and garlic and cook and let stand as directed.
