THE BEST TUNA SALAD

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl break up the tuna with a fork. Toss with the celery, onion and parsley. Add the mayonnaise, mustard and season with pepper, to taste. Stir to combine. Add lemon juice, to taste, if using.

TUNA FISH SALAD

Steps:

• Open the two 12-oz. cans of tuna and strain in a wire colander in the sink.
• Take a pot and bring the eggs to a rolling boil. Once they are finished set the pot in the sink and let cool. You can do this by draining the hot water and covering the eggs with cold water. Once they are cool enough to hold in your palm, peel off shells and mash with a fork into tiny bits. Place into the same pot that you boiled the eggs inches.
• Add the tuna fish to the eggs and mix together.
• Chop and mince the celery, green onion, yellow onion, and olives. You should not have any large chunks. Individually mix each into the tuna and eggs. Add the sweet relish. If you add and mix each ingredient separtely, each will be better incorporated into the mixture.
• Mix in the mustard until it is incorporated. Add the mayonnaise and if your salad looks sort of dry, add more as needed. You should have a wet consistency.
• Sprinkle in the salt and pepper.
• To get the best taste of the tuna salad, refrigerate for about 20 to 30 minutes before serving. You can serve on bread or over fresh lettuce with a few tomato slices.

MED/GREEK SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare the fish - rub each side of your fillet or with a drizzle of olive oil, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with oregano.
• Melt 1 Tbspn olive oil in a cast iron grill pan on a high heat. Once the pan is very hot turn the pan down to a medium heat. Cook the fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side*. You want the fish to be slightly golden on the outside and should pull apart easily and be flaky once cooked.
• Place all of the ingredients for the salad in a bowl and toss with the lemon dressing.
• Separate the salad on to 2 plates and place the fish over the top. Serve with a lemon wedge and drizzle with extra olive oil if desired.

FLOUNDER FISH SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk together the oil and vinegar in a medium-mixing bowl. Add the black pepper, salt, lime juice, hot sauce, scallions, parsley, and lemon and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning if desired. Add the fish and gently mix to combine.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium saucepan over low heat, bring the olive oil to 300 to 310 degrees F. While the oil is heating, season the flounder fillets on all sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Lay half of the sliced lemons and half of the parsley in the bottom of a cast iron skillet large enough to hold the fillets in a single layer without overlapping. Lay the seasoned fillets on top of the lemons. Top with the remaining lemons and parsley. Once the oil has reached temperature, gently pour it over the fillets, and place in the oven and poach for 10 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

SUMMER FISH SALAD

Steps:

• Select a pan large enough to hold the fish in a single layer. Place the lemon, halved and lightly juiced, in the pan along with the onion, bay leaf and some salt and pepper. Cover with water, bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Add the fish, bring the cooking liquid back to a simmer then reduce heat and cook the fish very gently, so the water barely shivers, until it is just cooked through, five to eight minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Drain the fish and allow it to cool.
• Combine the tomato, peppers, scallions and coriander in a salad bowl. When the fish has cooled remove any skin or bones and dice it coarsely. Mix gently with the vegetables.
• Beat the vinegar and cumin together, then beat in the olive oil. Season the dressing to taste with salt and pepper and fold into the salad ingredients. Re-season if necessary, then serve.

LOAVES & FISHES FISH SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400*F.
• Place the fish on a baking sheet. Rub both sides of fish with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for about 25 minutes, until the fish is firm and fully cooked. Allow to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Remove and discard the skin and bones.
• When the fish is cool, flake the flesh into a bowl in large pieces. Add the celery, red onion, fennel, dill, lemon juice, vinegar, capers, mayonnaise, 1 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Mix gently and refrigerate for at about 30 minutes. Taste for seasoning and serve at room temperature. Enjoy!
