Tuna With Avocado Green Goddess Aioli
- Aioli:
- 1/4 cup fat-free sour cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 6 tablespoons chopped ripe peeled avocado
- 2 tablespoons fat-free mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- Tuna:
- 3/4 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 (6-ounce) tuna steaks (about 1 inch thick)
- Cooking spray
- To prepare aioli, combine first 9 ingredients in a blender; process until smooth.
- To prepare tuna, combine coriander and next 5 ingredients (through pepper) in a small bowl; sprinkle spice mixture evenly over tuna.
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add tuna; cook 2 minutes on each side or until medium-rare or desired degree of doneness. Serve with aioli.
- Wine Note: Tuna, like salmon, is a fish capable of handling lighter red wines, especially when it's grilled. A to Z Wineworks Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2004 ($16) from Oregon is a great value. Along with red raspberry and strawberry fruit, this supple wine offers peppery spice that marries well with the chili, cumin, and coriander coating the tuna steak. -Jeffery Lindenmuth
