CORIANDER, FENNEL, AND PEPPER CRUSTED TUNA WITH WATERMELON SALSA
Steps:
- To prepare the watermelon salsa, in a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients and season with salt and pepper.
- To prepare spice blend, grind all spices in a mini food processor or spice grinder they are powdery. Spread the spice mixture evenly on a large plate.
- Rinse the tuna fillets and pat dry. Place one side of each piece of tuna into the spice mixture. Shake off excess.
- In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over high heat until almost smoking. Carefully place two of the tuna fillets, spiced side down, into the skillet. A spice crust should form within 1 minute. Using kitchen tongs, turn over the tuna, lower the heat to medium, and cook for 2 to 5 minutes to desired doneness. Repeat the process with the remaining tuna fillets. For Watermelon Salsa:

FENNEL-APPLE SALAD WITH WALNUTS
A bright and tangy salad cuts the heaviness of the typical Thanksgiving meal. This one, with fennel, celery, apples and toasted walnuts, is all crunch, which the carb-heavy meal can generally use more of. You can make the dressing a day ahead and store it in the fridge, but don't dress the salad until an hour before serving.
