Health and fertility benefits of Tuna Gravlax with Radish and Avocado Salad Recipe | MyRecipes

Tuna is great for a high protein diet as it has 33 grams of protein within its housing, with no pesky carbohydrates to worry about. In addition to this, tuna contains B vitamins and vitamin D, both of which are vital to fighting back against PCOS. Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons plus 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 pounds tuna belly, any bones gently removed with tweezers
3 radishes, trimmed
1/2 firm-ripe avocado, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons chopped chives
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

Combine 2 tbsp. salt and the sugar in a small bowl. Rub both sides of tuna belly with salt mixture. Set on a plate, cover, and chill at least 6 hours and up to overnight.
Briefly rinse fish with cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Using a very sharp knife, thinly slice belly diagonally across the grain, pulling the knife through the fish rather than sawing. Divide slices among 4 to 6 small salad plates, spreading them out in a single layer. Cover each with plastic wrap and, using the bottom of a liquid measuring cup, gently pound fish into a thin layer.
Thinly slice radishes, then cut into thin matchsticks. Transfer to a small bowl and add avocado, chives, oil, and lemon juice. Season with remaining 1/2 tsp. salt and toss until well combined. Spoon some salad onto each plate.
