Albacore Tuna Sliders

Ingredients for Albacore Tuna Sliders

• 450g albacore tuna loin (ask for a piece off the front end, for even thickness)

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

• 2 tablespoons Northwest Seafood Seasoning

• 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes

• Slider buns, brioche, if possible

• 1 medium heirloom tomato or other ripe beefsteak tomato, thinly sliced

• Rocket leaves, rinsed and dried

• Tartar sauce, such as Pike Place Fish Smoked Walla Walla Onion Tartar Sauce

Remove the skin from the tuna and score the flesh every inch with a knife, as if you were making steaks. Repeat on all sides, but make sure not to cut all the way through.

Mix the soy sauce, olive oil, seafood seasoning, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Using a basting brush, brush the mixture on all sides of the tuna, making sure to get some marinade inside the scored parts of the fish, so it's well coated. Marinate at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes.

Preheat a grill to high. Make sure the grates are clean and well oiled. Put the tuna directly on the grill and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or 6 minutes total for rare. During the last minute of cooking, toast the buns on the grill. Slice the tuna into four sections along score lines. Serve on the buns with sliced tomato, rocket, and your favourite condiment.
