SEARED TUNA with ORANGE,AVOCADO AND CILANTRO SALSA

 I found, well actually Charlie found this recipe in a news letter from his opthalmologist.  He handed it to me and said this sounds good.  Tuna is good for your eyes.  It did sound good so I made it and it was very good.

This was a great dinner.. it would work equally as well with  salmon which is a little less expensive than the tuna.  We got to eating so I forgot to take a picture of the plated dish.
