    Fresh seared tuna is so good for you, and a seared tuna steak can make such a delicious dinner.  This one's topped with a zesty salsa of lemon and capers - a perfect accompaniment to the fish.  There's some basil to add extra flavor and served with some roasted potatoes on the side, this is a perfect meal.
