Favourite Summer Supper recipe ideas

I'm trying to lose weight, so looking for recipes about 600 cals....but I don't want diet food. I don't eat loads of meat, as I'm trying to cut down to only a coup,e of times a week.
I'm really struggling for recipe ideas....I seem to know loads of winter recipes but not so many summer ones.

I've tried the M&S Hollumi & Strawberry salad (suggested on here) and it was sooooo delicious and easy to make, its made me realise I'm missing out on so many lovely meals because I'm stuck in a rut.

Anyone care to share their favourites with me?

Not sure of calorie count but it’s healthy: take thick tuna steak and marinate it for at least 4 hours in olive oil, soya sauce, lots of fresh grated ginger, crushed garlic, small spoon sugar, squeezed lime juice. Fry it in the marinade until just cooked. Fry the marinade longer and the garlic and ginger caramelises. Serve with marinade and caramelised bits accompanied with a tomato, avocado, mozzarella and basil salad with lime juice dressing. Yum I’ve just made myself really hungry!
