Beautifully seared tuna is perfectly complemented by the zesty caper and olive salsa.

Ingredients (10)

  • 500g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to brush
  • 1/3 cup pitted kalamata olives, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons salted baby capers, rinsed, drained

  • 1 long red chilli, seeds removed, finely chopped
  • 4 x 180g tuna steaks
  • Mixed salad leaves, to serve
  • Roasted kipfler potatoes, to serve

Method

  • 1.
    Preheat oven to 160°C. Place tomatoes, cut-side up, on a baking paper-lined baking tray and roast for 7-8 minutes until softened. Cool to room temperature.
  • 2.
    Whisk lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil in a small bowl, then season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
