About a year and a half ago, I was sent an affiliate box from Sitka Salmon Shares, and I loved the quality of the seafood so much that I have had a Premium Seafood Subscription Box ever since. I love the variety as well, but some of the seafood I am not as familiar with how best to cook it. Luckily, Sitka Salmon Shares has some seriously amazing recipes on their website, including this one for Seared Tuna with Orange Fennel Salad.
To make this recipe easier to come together, I strongly suggest using a mandoline (I love the one that comes in Oxo’s Mini Complete Grate and Slice Set [paid link]) to slice the fennel and red onion. I am quite accident prone, so I also strongly suggest purchasing a cut-resistant glove (paid link) so that you keep all of your fingers cut-free.
Ingredients:
- 2 (8 to 10 ounce) portions albacore tuna
- 3 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- salt, to taste
- ground pepper, to taste
- 1 large navel orange
- 1 fennel bulb, trimmed and very thinly sliced
- 1/2 red onion, very thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pitted Castelvetrano olives (I like to keep half of them whole and chop the other half)
- the juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons reserved fennel fronds, plus more for garnish
- 3 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley, plus more for garnish
