Recipe Notes
If you don't have a Cajun blend, use a mixture of salt, cayenne, paprika, black pepper, onion powder and garlic powder. You can find several blend recipes on the internet.Use any salad greens you have on hand. Arugula, spinach, romaine, butter lettuce, or mixed baby greens all work well.No tuna… use swordfish, cod, salmon or any fish fillet you like.Substitute the fish with blackened shrimp or chicken breast.Serving size: 1 tuna fillet + greensClick here to see your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site.3*SmartPoints (Green plan)1*SmartPoints (Blue plan)1*SmartPoints (Purple plan)5*PointsPlus (Old plan)
