Cooking Notes
The goal tonight was to have an easy dinner. I cooked two 5-ounce fillets for 5 minutes that were pink inside. Used a can of Marzano tomatoes with garlic and basil, because that is what I had. Added spinach to the dish and placed it on polenta.
Marzano with garlic and basil Added spinach 5 minutes in microwave with 10 oz tuna On polenta
Quick, easy, but a little bland. You probably don't need to cook it as long is the recipe states, considering I often just sear tuna before serving.
