Fresh Tuna Sandwich Recipe

Fresh Tuna Sandwich Recipe

  • 1 tablespoon Safeway SELECT Olive Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Safeway SELECT Balsamic Vinegar
  • Salt and pepper
  • 4 (4 ounce) 3/4 inch thick tuna steaks
  • 1/2 cup Safeway mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons olive tapenade
  • 1 tablespoon minced parsley
  • 4 sesame seed sandwich rolls, split
  • Romaine or leaf lettuce, rinsed and crisped
  • 8 slices ripe tomato
  1. In a small bowl, stir together oil and vinegar; season to taste with salt and pepper.
  2. Rinse fish, pat dry, and brush with oil mixture. Place, oiled side down, on lightly greased rack in a broiler pan. Brush fish again with oil mixture. Broil about 4 in. below heat, turning once and brushing with remaining oil mixture after turning, until fish is lightly browned on outside but still red in thickest part; cut to test (8 to 10 minutes).
  3. Meanwhile, in another small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, tapenade, and parsley; season to taste with salt and pepper. Spread cut sides of roll bottoms with mayonnaise mixture, using about half the mixture.
  4. Cover bottom half of each roll with lettuce leaves and top with a hot tuna steak; cut fish to fit, if necessary. Top fish with tomato slices, then with remaining mayonnaise mixture; cover with roll tops.
