Try making grilled tuna salad with fresh tuna steaks instead of using canned tuna. It's sandwich-changing.

Ingredients

  • 12 ozs Albacore tuna steaks
  • 2 tbs canola oil
  • 1 tbsp dill pickle juice (from jar)
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp celery salt
  • 3 tbsp light mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp champagne vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 hard-boiled egg
  • 1/3 cup celery (diced)
  • 1 pickle spear (diced)
  • 1 tbsp onion (minced)

Directions

  1. 1

    Place the tuna steaks in a zip-top bag. Add 2 tablespoons canola oil, pickle juice, ½ teaspoon salt, pepper and celery salt into the bag. Toss to coat and allow flavors to blend for 20 minutes at room temperature.

  2. 2

    Heat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the steaks on the grill. Grill for 6 minutes. Don’t move the steak while it’s cooking. It will sear and easily flip when ready.

  3. 3

    After about 6 minutes, flip and grill for another 6 minutes. Remove from grill and let cool at room temperature.

  4. 4

    In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, vinegar and ½ teaspoon salt.

  5. 5

    Break the tuna steaks up with your fingers and add to the mayonnaise mixture. Stir to coat.

  6. 6

    Chop the hard-boiled egg and add to the tuna with the celery, pickle and onion.

  7. 7

    Enjoy on a bed of lettuce or as a sandwich.
