If your idea of tuna salad is laden with mayo, kick the can and make tuna steaks instead. They're quick and delicious on a bed of greens and can be easily replaced with another favorite fish. —Mildred Sherrer, Fort Worth, Texas

Ingredients

3 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup olive oil, divided
3 tablespoons chopped shallots, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
1 pound tuna steaks (1 inch thick)
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1-1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 package (5 ounces) spring mix salad greens
1 cup cut fresh thin asparagus (1-inch pieces)
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons minced chives

Directions

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 3 tablespoons oil, 1 tablespoon shallots, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Add tuna steaks. Seal and turn to coat; marinate for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, for dressing, combine the vinegar, mustard, sugar, and remaining shallots, salt and pepper in a small bowl; slowly whisk in remaining oil. Set aside.
Drain and discard marinade. In a large nonstick skillet, cook tuna over medium heat for 3-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare or until slightly pink in the center.
On individual salad plates, arrange the greens, asparagus and tomatoes. Cut tuna into bite-size pieces; add to salads. Drizzle salads with dressing. Sprinkle with chives.
