SPICY TUNA FISH SANDWICH
This is similar to classic tuna fish salad but with a kick. My boyfriend made this when we were out of relish and decided to substitute with jalapenos. It was awesome! I added the relish back in to give it a sweetness along with the spiciness.

SPICY GRILLED TUNA, CUBAN STYLE
Steps:
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, garlic, shallots, cumin, and about 3/4 of the cilantro (reserve the remaining cilantro for garnish).
- Place the tuna fillet in a large glass or ceramic dish. Rub your fingers over the fish to check for and remove any remaining bones, and pour the marinade over the tuna. Make sure the fish are evenly coated on both sides and marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator, turning once.
- Brush a grill or broiler pan with vegetable oil and heat it to high heat. Grill the fillets for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until done to your liking. Garnish with the remaining cilantro and the lemon wedges.
ITALIAN-STYLE TUNA SANDWICH
Though an American cook (or even a French one) usually adds mayonnaise to the bowl when dressing canned tuna for a sandwich, Italian cooks invariably anoint theirs with olive oil instead. Capers, olives and anchovy often join the festivities; here they are combined with garlic and parsley to make a zesty salsa verde. Choose the best quality Italian or Spanish canned tuna-the extra cost is well worth it. The other essential ingredient is freshly baked bread, like a good crisp baguette or crusty ciabatta roll.

Steps:
- Make the salsa verde: Whiz parsley leaves and 1/2 cup oil in a food processor or blender to a pesto-like consistency, then transfer to a small bowl. (Alternatively, chop parsley by hand and combine with oil.) Add garlic, chopped olives, anchovies, capers, lemon zest and red pepper to parsley mixture and stir well. Season with salt if necessary and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Thin with more oil as desired.
- Cut baguette crosswise into 4 equal pieces, then split each lengthwise with a serrated knife. (If using rolls, split each lengthwise.) For each sandwich, lay bread flat, crust side down. Spread cut sides with 2 tablespoons salsa verde. Put a few lettuce leaves on 1 piece of bread and arrange 2 ounces of tuna over lettuce. Top tuna with 1 egg, quartered. Season egg lightly with salt and pepper. Add sliced serrano chile, if using. Drizzle with a little more salsa verde, then press sandwich closed.

Tips:
- Use high-quality tuna. Fresh or canned tuna are both good options, but make sure it's a variety that you enjoy.
- Don't overcook the tuna. Tuna is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it quickly over high heat for about 2 minutes per side. If you overcook it, it will become dry and tough.
- Use a flavorful mayonnaise. This is the base of the spicy tuna salad, so make sure it's one that you enjoy. You can use a store-bought mayonnaise or make your own.
- Add some heat. The spiciness of this sandwich comes from the sriracha sauce. You can add more or less, depending on your taste.
- Use fresh vegetables. The vegetables in this sandwich add crunch and freshness. Make sure they're washed and chopped before you start assembling the sandwich.
- Serve immediately. This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh. Don't let it sit around for too long before eating.
