TUNA FLORENTINE



Tuna Florentine image

My mom used to make individual portions and bake them in scallop shells. Great memories!

Provided by Susan Whitley

Categories     Fish

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pkg frozen spinach
2 Tbsp minced onion
2 can(s) tuna
2 can(s) cream of mushroom soup
1 c sour cream
salt and pepper to taste
2 c bread crumbs
1/4 c melted butter
1/4 c parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. Thaw and drain spinach squeezing out excess water. Spread spinach evenly in a greased 2 quart casserole. Sprinkle onions and tuna over spinach.
  • 3. Mix soup and sour cream together and pour over ingredients in casserole.
  • 4. Mix bread crumbs with melted butter and sprinkle over top of casserole along with parmesan cheese.
  • 5. Bake at 350 degrees or until golden and bubbly.

Tips:

  • Select High-Quality Ingredients: Use fresh tuna steaks or fillets for the best flavor and texture. Opt for frozen tuna if fresh is unavailable, but ensure it's properly thawed before cooking.
  • Marinate the Tuna: Marinating the tuna in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices enhances its flavor. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for deeper infusion.
  • Cook the Tuna Properly: Tuna is a delicate fish that can easily overcook. Cook it over medium heat until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 155°F (68°C) for medium.
  • Make a Creamy Florentine Sauce: The creamy Florentine sauce is a key component of this dish. Use fresh spinach, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and nutmeg for a rich and flavorful sauce.
  • Serve Immediately: Tuna Florentine is best served immediately after cooking. The heat from the tuna will help melt the cheese in the sauce, creating a delightful combination of flavors.

Conclusion:

Tuna Florentine is an elegant and delicious dish that combines the delicate flavor of tuna with a creamy Florentine sauce. It's a perfect entrée for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its combination of fresh ingredients and simple preparation, this dish is sure to impress your family and friends.
