norma's orange and dill pan-seared tuna
I made this last summer when the family was here to visit. It went over well. They all enjoyed it so much that they asked me for the recipe. This turn out to be such a simple but great tasting dish. I served this citrus flavored tuna with fresh asparagus and lightly buttered new potatoes.
