That lemon dill sauce sounds amazing! I love that you paired it with tuna…I never think so go with something bright like that with tuna.
This is absolutely spectacular. I love fish and this recipe would go over well at my house. The sauce just takes it over the top. I think I might have to look into WW. If I can eat stuff like this I’m all in.
Wow, this looks mega-fantastic. I would love this for dinner.
I think I could drink that lemon dill sauce… sounds amazing!

Thanks Maureen! I love the lemon dill combo!
This recipe is fabulous. Made the sauce tonight on baked Cod fish- put a bit on the fish before baking and then drizzled the rest on it after it was finished…absolutely amazing…thank you so much for your talented yummy recipe!
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed!
How many does this feed?
1 pound of tuna steaks can feed 3-4 people (depending how hungry everyone is).
