]]> Tuna mayo pasta is one of the most delicious and comforting pasta recipes you can encounter. Here are three extra ingredients that you can combine in any way you like to add a big boost to your dish.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tin of tuna
  • 8 ounces fusilli
  • 1 cup of mayonnaise
  • Salt
  • Olive oil
  • 2 cups of Cheddar
  • A large handful of green olives (optional)
  • 1 tin of sweetcorn (optional)
  • 3 scallions (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Bring a pan of heavily salted water to the boil and add your fusilli. Cook until al dente and drain.
  2. In a bowl, mix up your mayonnaise and tuna. Add to your drained pasta and add olive oil for flavor and to stop it sticking too much.
  3. Grate your cheddar into your pasta and mix in.
  4. At this point, you can add any combination of your ‘extra’ ingredients. The saltiness of the olives and the sweetness of the sweetcorn complement each other very well, and the texture of raw scallions adds a nice crunch to your dish. Salt to taste and it is ready to serve!

]]> Those born before the new Millennium may recall Jessica Simpson having a puzzling moment regarding a very popular fish. “Is this chicken what I have, or is this fish?” the pop star asked her then-husband, Nick Lachey while eating canned tuna on their reality show. “I know it’s tuna, but it says Chicken of the Sea.”

The “Take My Breath Away” singer may have confused the two proteins, but tuna is typically a meaty fish similar to beef. This is especially true when served in steak form. Vegetarians who still crave the meatiness of a fillet or sirloin can derive the same satisfaction from a well-cooked tuna steak. The key is not to overcook the fish as this will leave it dry.

Here’s how to cook it perfectly.

Ingredients:

  • Tuna steak around 2cm thick
  • Olive oil
  • Lemon
  • Sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Make sure your pan is searing hot. A griddle pan works nicely for creating a lined effect on your fish.
  2. Lightly oil your tuna before placing it on the pan. The aim is to sear the fish, leaving it pink in the middle. The ideal cooking time is 45-60 seconds per side.
  3. Once cooked, let the tuna sit for a few minutes before slicing. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.

]]> Are you running low on ideas for what to do with fish? While it might seem like there simply aren’t a whole lot of flavors that you can add to options like salmon or tuna, the truth is that marinades are a great way to add a unique flavor to these fish options.

We love the combination of the flavors of garlic and soy sauce, which we have are the bases of one of our go-to marinade choices when preparing fish. It works especially well with strong flavors like salmon, tuna, and mahi-mahi, but can really be used for any type of fish that you like.

Here’s how to make it!

Ingredients:

  • 2 ounces soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 ounce lemon juice
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions:

The instructions for using this marinade are really quite simple. All you need to do is combine these ingredients in a container such as a plastic bag or a Tupperware container, stir them together thoroughly, and then add the piece of fish to the marinade.

Let the fish sit in the marinade for 2-4 hours in order to ensure that the garlic soy marinade flavor is imbued. After that, just prepare the fish however you’d like to, and enjoy!
