Sustainable Seared Sesame-Crusted Tuna Power Bowl

February 4, 2021

Marine Stewardship Council, MSC Blue Fish

This recipe is made in partnership with Marine Stewardship Council.

This 15-minute lunch recipe is good for you and the ocean too! Made with sustainably sourced, wild-caught MSC Blue Fish labeled tuna steak from ALDI, a good source of high-quality protein and key nutrients like zinc and iron, this flavor-packed protein and fiber-rich meal is not only delicious, it will keep you full for hours!

If you resolved to eat healthier in the new year, this dish is a delicious way to do that. When building nutritious and delicious meals that will keep you full for hours, I encourage my clients to focus on high quality protein and fiber. This dish checks both of those boxes.


Packed with colorful produce including cucumber, carrots, radish and edamame, this dish will help you meet your recommended veggie quota for the day while providing a burst of antioxidants. I always encourage my clients to incorporate a “rainbow of produce” into their diets in order to reap the benefits of a range of phytonutrients which each have their own mechanisms to help fight aging and promote health.

Marine Stewardship Council, MSC Blue Fish

The protein is the star of this dish! Wild caught seafood is a naturally low carbon footprint protein meaning it has a lower environmental impact than other animal sources of protein. The Marine Stewardship Council is a global, science-based nonprofit dedicated to ending overfishing worldwide. Check for the #MSCbluefish label while shopping for seafood to trust that you’re purchasing certified sustainable, wild-caught seafood from oceans, rivers, lakes and other naturally occurring waterways.

Catch this recipe in their new virtual Healthy Oceans Too cookbook here which features easy to recreate dishes at home that are good for you and the ocean too.

1️⃣Keep a versatile heart-healthy cooking oil on hand like naturally cholesterol free @MazolaBrand: Maintaining healthy cholesterol levels is important to heart health. Heart-Healthy* Mazola® Corn Oil, can help lower cholesterol more than extra virgin olive oil** and can make easy to make, meal prep recipes. 

2️⃣Replace salt with flavorful spices and herbs: One risk factor of heart disease is high blood pressure and one way to help control it is to cut back on sodium which is found mostly in processed and packaged foods as well as meals prepared outside the home. One easy way to cut back, is to cook more meals at home and flavor them with fresh herbs and spices.

3️⃣Focus on good fats: Eliminate trans fats and reduce saturated fats to help keep cholesterol levels in check. Trans fats are found in some packaged and fried foods as well as margarine. Saturated fats are found in red meat and high fat dairy. Opt for lean proteins like chicken and fish and low or nonfat dairy including yogurt and cheeses.
