Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (6 to 8-ounce) jars imported tuna packed in olive oil, drained
1/2 cup (1/4-inch) diced hearts of celery
1/2 cup minced scallions, white and light green parts (3 scallions)
3 tablespoons minced fresh dill
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup good mayonnaise, such as Hellmann's
1 teaspoon anchovy paste (optional)
4 large slices bread, such as Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse Hearty White
4 ounces Swiss cheese, such as Emmentaler, grated
1 ounce microgreens

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, flake the tuna finely with a fork. Add the celery, scallions, and dill, and continue mixing and fluffing with the fork until combined. Add the lemon juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Combine the mayonnaise and anchovy paste, if using, and mix into the tuna.

Tips:

  • Select High-Quality Tuna: Opt for fresh or canned tuna steaks or fillets that are firm and have a vibrant red color. Avoid any tuna that appears dull or has an off odor.
  • Proper Thawing: If using frozen tuna, thaw it properly in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for about 30 minutes. Never thaw tuna at room temperature, as this can promote bacterial growth.
  • Marinate for Flavor: Enhance the taste of your tuna by marinating it in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and liquids. Common marinade ingredients include olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs like thyme or rosemary.
  • Cook Tuna Properly: Tuna can be cooked using various methods such as grilling, pan-searing, baking, or poaching. The key is to cook it to the desired doneness without overcooking, which can result in dry and tough tuna.
  • Pair with Complementary Ingredients: Tuna pairs well with a variety of ingredients such as fresh vegetables, grains, and sauces. Some popular accompaniments include grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, quinoa, or a tangy lemon-herb sauce.
