Ingredients

• 1 lb tuna steaks
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
• 1/4 cup bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 Tbsp lemon juice
• 1 Tbsp dijon mustard
• 1 tsp honey
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 4 cups mixed greens

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a bowl, combine parsley, dill, bread crumbs, and olive oil. Mix well until evenly combined.
3. Lightly season the tuna steaks with salt and black pepper. Press the herb mixture firmly onto both sides of the tuna steaks.
4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a dash of olive oil. Sear the tuna for 1-2 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms.
5. Transfer the seared tuna to the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the tuna reaches the desired level of doneness.
6. While the tuna is baking, prepare the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, dijon mustard, honey, and a pinch of salt and black pepper until smooth.
7. Place the mixed greens in a large bowl and drizzle with the vinaigrette. Toss gently until the greens are evenly coated.
8. Once the tuna is cooked, slice it thinly. Arrange the dressed greens on a serving platter and lay the sliced tuna on top before serving.
