In this 15-minute recipe, simple seared tuna is dressed up with a soy, lime, ginger, and scallion dipping sauce. Yellowfin tuna, which we used in our nutritional analysis, is rich in omega-3 fatty acids—compounds that have been found to protect against heart disease by lowering triglycerides and improving the ratio of good (HDL) cholesterol to potentially damaging (LDL) cholesterol. Omega 3s have also been linked to lower incidences of both Alzheimer's and depression. Use a low-sodium soy sauce to reduce your salt intake. Serve with Wilted Watercress with Garlic. The side is a great source of vitamins C and K, which help to keep bones and joints healthy. Note: Some types of tuna are high in mercury.
