Easy ideas for tuna fish?

  • Have some around, but would like some ideas on what to do with it!
  • I saw this recipe the other day... Haven't tried it yet because I have a lot of other proteins I need to use up first. If you try it, let me know how it turns out. I love tuna.

  • Canned tuna:
    Mix with a bit of mayo or lemon pepper marinade and eat on cucumber slices, tomato slices, or in lettuce boats. You could also make a sandwich wrap made of greens (collards really hold up) and maybe put some sprouts in it - I love sprouts and tuna.
    Make a tuna noodle casserole with zucchini noodles.

    Fresh tuna:
    Just sear raw and eat with anything! I especially love it in Asian marinades like teriyaki or with wasabi and soy.

    I forgot about tuna cakes - I've been making them for years, but I always switch up the seasonings...the poor man's crabcake. Even my six year old likes to eat them!
  • Im not a seafood eater, so I dont have any personal favourites. However, a friend of mine loves to make tuna salad melts, she puts the tuna salad on thick tomato slices, tops with reduced fat cheddar & puts it under the broiler until the cheese melts.
  • My husband really enjoys hollowed out tomatoes stuffed with tuna salad.
  • As a displaced Alaskan, I love canned salmon and have been on a kick lately. It would be great with tuna, too. I didn't want to eat my salmon salad in a sandwich but wanted it as an accompaniment to salad.

    I dice carrots, celery and red onion very fine, add some SF pickle relish and a very small amount of vegan mayo (it's less calories and fat). I have a side of my mix with my salad and love it. I can eat it for lunch several days in a row.
  • I just made the salad with beans this week. You can find tons of recipes online; I love a version of tuna salad from allrecipes.com. And I used to make simple bread-less tuna melts: tuna with mayo (and whatever else you want to add in) with cheese on top, under the broiler. I cooked it on foil sprayed so it wouldn't stick then just slid the whole thing onto a plate.
  • I don't have a recipe offhand but it shouldn't be hard to find one online for Salade Nicoise it is always a good way to use up tuna & is an especially refreshing main dish in the warm months.
