- 4 tuna filets (6 oz each)
- 1 lb frozen peas
- 2 1/2 cup arugula
- 3/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken brother or water
- 4 Tbsp fresh lemon juice (will probably need to add more while cooking)

- 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 egg white, beaten
- 1/4 cup whole flaxseed

Directions:
- Combine peas, arugula, broth, lemon juice, parmesan, and olive oil in a blender. Puree until smooth, and then add pepper to taste. Transfer to saucepan and warm throughly over a medium-low heat
- Put egg white and flaxseed in 2 different small bowls. Dip tuna filets in the egg whites and then flaxseed.
- Heat on a nonstick skillet sprayed with cooking spray over medium-high heat.
- Be sure to flip the filets, and cook for about 5-7 minutes
