My wife is a chef, so I don't like to pester her too often for recipes. I had to make an exception today, though. I was really hungry after surfing and begged her for help on a dish she had made for me previously. I really liked it and wanted to prepare it on my own, then rip it off and publish it here. I hope she doesn't hit me with a C&D or anything.
This recipe makes a healthy, quick lunch in about 30 minutes.

After a beautiful morning of surf, this was a great lunch.
