TART AND CRUNCHY FRESH TUNA SALAD



Tart and Crunchy Fresh Tuna Salad image

Provided by Claire Robinson

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large fresh tuna steaks (about 1 1/2 pounds)
2 lemons, thinly sliced, plus 1/2 lemon, zested and juiced, as needed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup fat free Greek yogurt
1/2 cup halved red grapes
1/4 cup toasted and chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Put a large sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet. Arrange the lemon slices on the parchment, slightly overlapping, covering in an area just larger than the size of the tuna steaks. Season the tuna well on both sides with salt and pepper and arrange them directly on the lemon slices. Sprinkle the zest evenly over the tuna. Bring the 2 long sides of parchment together and fold down over the tuna; fold the ends of the parchment and tuck them under the fish like an envelope. Roast in the oven until cooked through, about 18 to 20 minutes; the tuna should flake easily with a fork and is no longer pink in the center.
  • Open the parchment packet and let the tuna cool until it can be handled, then flake it with a fork. Transfer to a serving bowl along with any cooking juices it has released. Add the yogurt, grapes, and walnuts and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper and freshly squeezed lemon juice, to taste. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat.
  • Cook's Note: Serve this healthy salad on butter lettuce leaves, on a slice of toasted seedy whole wheat bread, with fresh cantaloupe slices, or eat straight out of the refrigerator with a fork!

Tips for Making the Crunchy Tuna Surprise:

  • Choose high-quality tuna. Fresh or frozen tuna steaks work well for this recipe. Look for tuna that is deep red in color and has a firm texture.
  • Use panko breadcrumbs for a crispy coating. Panko breadcrumbs are made from Japanese bread and they absorb less oil than regular breadcrumbs, resulting in a crispier coating.
  • Season the tuna well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to season the tuna. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
  • Cook the tuna over medium heat. Cooking the tuna over medium heat will help to prevent it from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Serve the tuna with your favorite dipping sauce. Tartar sauce, mayonnaise, or a lemon-butter sauce are all good options.

Conclusion:

The Crunchy Tuna Surprise is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The tuna is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the combination of flavors is simply delicious. Serve this dish with your favorite dipping sauce and a side of roasted vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
